College student Bao Cheng bonded with a System and became the Qing Dynasty Crown Prince Yinreng.
Good news: His father is Kangxi, and he gets to see "Dad is a superhero" every day.
Bad news: Yinreng will be deposed twice, reinstated twice, and eventually confined until he kicks the bucket.

Yinreng started sending all his difficult problems online.
He noticed that a helpful netizen called "Daiyu Is a Little Fairy" was always the first to help him solve his problems.
Then one day, while passing by the Rongguo Mansion, he discovered that the good friend who answered his questions online was living in the same time and place as him.
Thinking of how Lin Daiyu was all alone in the Rongguo Mansion, facing a year-round barrage of hardship and hostility while still making time to help him with his homework, Yinreng was overcome with emotion.
And so the dutiful Crown Prince Yinreng came online. Wherever his father went, he went too.
The Nine Princes' rivalry for the throne? One fewer contender. Fourth Prince Yinzhen supposedly won in the end and became emperor, then worked himself to death. Life is unpredictable, so he might as well eat, drink, and lie down whenever he can.
Yinreng didn't ask for much. He just wanted to protect his kind and helpful online friend from the Lin family.
Emperor Kangxi was delighted to see Yinreng becoming well-behaved, and thought to himself: Lin Ruhai's daughter would make an excellent Crown Princess!
Later, Kangxi thought every day about his good son, good daughter-in-law, and good grandson.
Yinreng, who was always doting on his wife and looking after the children, ended up being pushed into the role of emperor while lying down.
[Ding dong! Please receive: How to Grow Hybrid Rice, The Making of Steel: Plus Edition, and An Assembly Guide to the Internal Combustion Engine!] The System had assigned him a side quest.
Isolationism? No way!
Yinreng, the idle fish who had settled into a comfortable routine, flipped right over. He's got work to do!
During her years at the Rongguo Mansion, Lin Daiyu would often feel sad when she thought of how her parents had died early, leaving her dependent on others with no one to stand up for her.
Then a sky screen appeared before her. She could share her thoughts on it and see the inner thoughts of strangers.
There was a fellow called "The Aisin Gioro Family's Good Second Son" who wailed on it every day, "What should I do if my dad loves me too much?" He had endless homework to finish and expectations he could never meet, and had it even worse than she did. Whenever she had a moment, Lin Daiyu replied to him on the sky screen and comforted him.
Until one day, the Crown Prince came charging to her door and offered to take her home with all the pomp and ceremony of a Crown Princess's wedding.
Pairing: Yinreng and Lin Daiyu, one-on-one, happy ending
