The Cold Palace Prince: The Sky Screen Livestreams Me as the Greatest Emperor of All Time

After working overtime to the point of sudden death, Yu Fushu transmigrated to ancient times.

Good news: he was reborn as the emperor's son.

Bad news: he had spent his childhood in the Cold Palace, never knowing whether his next meal would come. When his mother consort tried to get medicine for his high fever, she broke out of the Cold Palace and was beaten to death after being mistaken for an assassin. Upon hearing the terrible news, his original self also breathed his last.

A disastrous start.

He planned to fake his death and escape the imperial palace with his mother's ashes. But just as he lay down in the coffin, a sky screen appeared, revealing the future to the entire world.

[Good afternoon, everyone. Today, we'll be discussing the first emperor in history to unite all under heaven, the Sage Martial Emperor of Xia.]

At the grand court assembly, everyone turned to look at the princes in the front row. The emperor seated on the throne was Emperor Xia Cheng, and there was no Sage Martial Emperor among those before him.

The princes were overjoyed. Surely the sky screen was talking about one of them! They were just about to step forward and congratulate their father on Xia's eternal prosperity when the sky screen mercilessly exposed the truth.

[As everyone knows, Emperor Xia Cheng had one utterly useless son and one prince who made the whole realm proud. The princes he carefully raised included the eldest prince, who rebelled.]

[The third prince embezzled disaster relief funds, harming millions of people.]

[The fourth prince colluded with the enemy and betrayed his country. Xia's 500,000 soldiers nearly faced total annihilation, and the enemy came knocking at the gates.]

Lying in the coffin and watching the show, Yu Fushu remarked, "They're each worse than the last."

The eldest, third, and fourth princes went deathly pale. Kneeling on the ground, they trembled and begged for mercy without stopping.

Emperor Xia Cheng's expression darkened. He looked at the fourth prince, murder in his eyes, then turned to the fifth prince.

Was he this Sage Martial Emperor?

[Fortunately, at this moment of crisis, the Sage Martial Emperor stepped forward. He had grown up in the Cold Palace, never enjoyed a moment of his father's love, and had even died once.

He personally led the remaining troops, holding his ground without retreating. He killed the traitors and turned the tide, then struck back from the brink of defeat and successfully defended the frontier. He stopped the enemy's iron hooves from entering Xia. Otherwise, Xia would have faced destruction.]

[Looking back through history, the Sage Martial Emperor was both the most beloved and the most controversial emperor. He established the imperial examinations, giving scholars from humble families a path to serve their country. He built schools far and wide, bringing education to the people. He vigorously developed infrastructure and improved people's livelihoods, allowing the people to live in peace, with the elderly cared for, the young nurtured, the sick treated, and everyone housed.

He strengthened the military and trained his soldiers. The cavalry of Great Xia became famous across thousands of miles, and the various states came to pay homage.]

The whole world was in an uproar, and forces everywhere frantically searched for this legendary emperor of the future.

[He cared for all under heaven and cherished the common people, yet he was also ruthless, killing his father and elder brothers and ruling with absolute authority. He was Yu Fushu, the legendary ruler who ushered in an age of peace and prosperity.]

Yu Fushu had just fled to his maternal grandfather's home and introduced himself, only to be told that he would kill his father and elder brothers and rule tyrannically. He fell silent.

His maternal grandfather gazed at him warmly with bright, keen eyes and asked, "Child, when will you set things right?"

Yu Fushu: "..."

Was he really destined to take the throne?

Faced with probing and assassination attempts from every direction, Yu Fushu donned a prince's court robes. "If I can't escape, then I'll fight my way back and seize the throne. I'll make myself worthy of this title as the greatest emperor of all time!"
