Enjoy reading~ Paragraph comments are open! Woohoo~ Li Mu, a top-tier corporate drone, had just scored a million-yuan year-end bonus when a flowerpot cracked his skull. He never got to spend the money. He was dead before he knew it. When he opened his eyes again, he had become the sole heir of the Prince of Hedong in the Tang dynasty. He thought he could lie flat and coast through life, only to discover that being born into wealth was a nightmare from the start! The history books describe his father, Li Jin, as "down on his luck, heedless of propriety, and addicted to wine and women." Perfect! The family fortune was about to be squandered by his drunken father. Luckily, he had transmigrated with his phone. Unfortunately, there was only one bizarre app on the screen: "Netherworld Connect." Li Mu accidentally tapped its only link, [Long Live the Tang Dynasty], and the next second, the messages exploded: Li Shimin: New friend? Welcome, welcome! Where are you from? Is the Tang dynasty doing well these days? Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Li Jing... The group filled with welcomes. Looking at these long-dead forefathers and the Tang dynasty they cared so deeply about, Li Mu remembered the Tang history he had read and quietly replied: "Great ancestors, your Tang dynasty might not be around much longer!" The big shots: You're lying to me!!! (Sobbing, sobbing) From then on, Li Mu's days followed a routine: getting the family business in order during the day, then holding video meetings at night to teach Tang history. He had just pummeled the parasites, kicked out the cruel servants, and saved enough for the trip to Shu to lie flat, when the group task suddenly refreshed: [Main Quest: Save the Tang dynasty! Reward: Peace and Prosperity x1] Li Shimin: @Li Mu Do you intend to imitate Liu Bei and hole up in Shu, content with a corner of the realm? But if the heart of the empire collapses, the land will fall apart. How can Shu stand alone? This is no time to settle for mere survival. This is the moment to hold up the heavens and protect the throne! Li Mu: ...Ancestor, I'm not educated. Li Shimin: You just try running away! I'll beat Li Longji first, and you second! Li Mu: ... He had no choice but to quietly upload the "Tang Dynasty Group Acquisition Proposal" he had prepared long ago. Li Shimin: @All Members My lords, this is not about the rise or fall of one family. It is about the safety of all the people under heaven. Let him take charge! He can do it! Wei Zheng: I second the motion! Fang Xuanling: The young lord is most wise. Du Ruhui: Agreed. Charge! +10086 And so, the world saw a fallen young prince use his words to bring peace to the realm and his arms to secure it, turning the tide when all seemed lost. What the world couldn't see was his phone being pinged 999+ times every day by a group of famous ministers from the ages, all nagging him to get to work. On the day peace finally came to the land, Li Mu was just about to turn off his phone and slack off. [Wei Zheng started a voice call: Your Majesty! You have ten volumes of memorials unread today. Don't even think of skipping court!] Li Mu: ...Is it too late to bury this phone? [Reader's Guide] 1. The protagonist is no saint. Li Mu's good temper is just a front. He's actually a wolf in sheep's clothing, and he gets along well with Huo Yan. Don't expect him to be an innocent little flower. He starts killing left and right from the very beginning. 2. The core golden finger is a group chat. It connects to the ghosts of the dead in the underworld. 3. The story mainly focuses on building a career. It's lighthearted and humorous, with occasional fiery moments. No CP. The protagonist is devoted to his "money"-making prospects (which eventually lead to the throne). 4. A fantastical take on history. The setting is the Kaiyuan era of the Tang dynasty, with some original worldbuilding. Characters may be out of character for the sake of the plot. History buffs, please go easy on me. Theme: Treasure life and love living.
