On the night their kingdom falls and their family is destroyed, the entire Great Yong imperial family transmigrates, landing right in the 60-square-meter rental apartment of Lu Zhiyao, an eighteen-year-old office worker.
The imposing emperor livestreams his calligraphy on a tablet, while the chat floods with comments: "Teacher, it's a shame you aren't competing in the national calligraphy exhibition!" The dignified empress recreates imperial kitchen pastries with a microwave and an air fryer, with private orders booked through next year. The aloof crown prince rides a secondhand electric scooter to deliver food, bringing the urgency of an "800-mile express courier" to every order. The gentle crown princess casually styles her hair in a fallen-horse bun and posts a video. In three days, she gains a million followers and becomes a top-tier star of intangible cultural heritage. Even the chief eunuch gets a job as a security guard in the apartment complex, serving the residents like loyal subjects.
Only Lu Zhiyao stares at her empty bank account and overcrowded little apartment, on the verge of tears. I'm just a young worker who only recently came of age. How did I end up supporting the imperial family of a fallen dynasty?
Xiao Jingheng places the 32.5 yuan he earned delivering food on the table and says solemnly, "When I restore Great Yong, I will repay you with a fortune."
Lu Zhiyao sighs. "Your Highness, why don't you start by paying last month's rent?"
