After transmigrating, Li Yu'an becomes the seventh prince of the Great Zong dynasty.
His father is the emperor.
His mother is the empress.
His biological older brother is the crown prince.
His parents were childhood sweethearts, deeply devoted to each other.
Li Yu'an can hardly keep from laughing at the sky. This incredible fortune has finally come his way!
He thinks he can now lie flat and enjoy life.
As for the throne, a job where you rise earlier than a chicken and sleep later than a dog, whoever wants it can have it!
Thus, the seventh prince, who is made a prince from the day he's born, becomes notorious throughout the court and capital as a spoiled brat while still very young.
He skips class, shows up late, leaves early. He does it all.
He teases cats and dogs and gets away with anything. He's always at the center of it.
Censors (professional complainers) take detours to avoid him. He's known as the capital's terror.
At first, the Crown Prince, Prince Qi, and the others feel uneasy about how much their father dotes on this seventh brother.
But later, they realize that he's a genuine, bona fide wastrel who knows nothing and has no ambition.
Emperor Yong'an and Empress Nalan were young sweethearts with a deep bond, and poured almost all their hearts into their children.
Having suffered as a prince himself, the emperor doesn't want his children to go through the same hardships.
He values the Crown Prince, believing that the empire will eventually be entrusted to him.
So he shows extra affection to his second and youngest sons.
His second son is frail, so he pities him.
His youngest is mischievous, so he indulges him.
He only hopes that his sons will love one another as brothers and remain close.
But more than ten years pass.
The Crown Prince, valued above all others, stages a rebellion.
Prince Qi, the second son, makes no secret of his ambition to seize the throne.
Only the seventh prince remains as he always was.
In the end, no one expects the throne to fall to that spoiled seventh prince.
Li Yu'an: "…" He weeps as he takes the throne.
The officials in the hall gaze at the throne and recall the seventh prince of old, who skipped class, arrived late, and left early... His handwriting was among his many disgraceful exploits, as bad as a dog's scratching. Their vision goes dark!
The officials are overcome with grief. Our Great Zong dynasty is doomed!
Li Yu'an looks at the countless memorials on his desk and flies into a rage!
◣皿◢: Get your lazy asses moving!
Then, as the ministers keep working harder and harder, the Western Turks are conquered, Baekje is conquered, Goguryeo is conquered...
According to the historical records, during Emperor Wen's reign, the territory of the Great Zong dynasty reached its greatest extent, spanning 9,000 li from east to west and 15,000 li from north to south. It was the largest domain in the entire history of the Great Zong dynasty!
