After waking up, Zhao Yan transmigrates to the Great Qin dynasty and becomes the eighteenth prince of Qin Shi Huang.
His birth mother died young, and he has neither power nor influence. He is utterly insignificant in the palace, and everyone considers him a useless prince. With no System and no world-shattering modern technology, this modern office worker has seen how the Great Qin dynasty will fall after just two generations. All he wants is to keep his head down in the inner palace, slack off, lie flat, and live out his days in peace.
But his ideas are simply too far ahead of their time. A few casual remarks are always enough to solve problems that have long plagued the imperial court.
Improving warehouse storage, making life better for ordinary people, streamlining logistics: one major issue after another gets resolved, all without him even trying. Ying Zheng is both annoyed and amused. He complains that his son spends all day slacking off, yet can't help favoring him. Li Si and Meng Tian keep having their preconceptions overturned, while Zhao Gao's repeated schemes only end up humiliating him again and again.
He has no interest in competing for the throne or getting caught up in power struggles. He just wants to lie flat and get through each day. Unbeknownst to him, he becomes the entire court's most respected figure and the man Qin Shi Huang values above all others, a powerful presence hidden in plain sight. Amid the playful day-to-day antics, he quietly changes the fate of the Great Qin dynasty.
