[Two Male Leads] Shen Zhiyu opens his eyes and finds himself transmigrated into a book as a vicious prince doomed to a tragic end.
Having read the entire story, he has just one wish: lie flat and stay alive, keep away from Xie Linyuan, the regent who can turn the entire court upside down with a wave of his hand, and live quietly to a ripe old age.
So he returns the bribes, dismisses his followers, and spends every day lying flat and pretending to be ill. All he wants is to be a carefree prince who has no interest in fighting for the throne.
He never expected this.
Watching him lie flat, his chief secretary thinks: His Highness is so calculating, quietly biding his time and gathering strength!
Seeing him avoid trouble, the court officials think: This prince has grand ambitions and is plotting to seize the throne!
Even the old fox of a marquis is convinced he is secretly laying out a world-shaking master plan.
Shen Zhiyu: ??? I really just want to lie flat!
Worse still, the cold-faced regent everyone fears keeps appearing at his side without a word.
Shen Zhiyu stays tense every moment, afraid he'll be handed the poison-filled lunchbox from the original story at any second.
Xie Linyuan lowers his eyes, quietly studying this prince who seems strange in every way.
What does this man really want?
A good-for-nothing prince just trying to survive × a deep and reserved regent,
The whole world is forcing this carefree prince to play power games.
