The Great Yan has only just been founded, and the realm is still in turmoil!
At home, arrogant founding heroes vie for power while great clans carve up the provinces. Beyond the borders, foreign tribes repeatedly attack the passes, and war could break out again at any moment.
Yun Jinyao transmigrates into the world as the heir to the Prince of Loyalty, one of the founding nobles. His father is sworn brothers with the emperor and commands a powerful army. Yet beneath all the glory lies a deadly predicament: his achievements threaten to overshadow the throne.
To protect his family, he simply pretends to be an idle, hedonistic young noble, letting the court officials mock him for having no ambition.
The naive crown prince trusts him as an elder brother above all others. In secret, Yun Jinyao patiently guides him, teaching him the arts of power and how to rule, and personally helping the heir ascend the path to the throne.
The eldest princess, whose beauty and talent are unmatched in the capital, is initially prejudiced against him. Only after a series of events does she see the astonishing schemes hidden beneath his dissolute facade.
He quietly resolves the undercurrents in court, border crises, and great-clan conspiracies from behind the scenes.
Everyone else sees only an idle man passing his days. No one knows that this seemingly useless heir is secretly holding up the entire Great Yan dynasty, while a bevy of devoted beauties gathers around him.
