The old ghost Ji Cheng suddenly crossed through time and became Yinreng, the unlucky Qing dynasty crown prince, in the version where he had already been deposed once. He immediately felt like lying flat. He’d have to be deposed a second time too? What a hassle!
After realizing Yinreng was his previous life, Ji Cheng became even more irritable. He found fault with everyone, starting with the eldest prince, then the fourth. So what if I’m going crazy?
Meanwhile, Kangxi, just reborn from the sixty-first year of his reign, thought: Something’s wrong! There’s something wrong with all my sons!
The other contenders for the throne who had been reborn thought: Something’s wrong! This isn’t how things are supposed to go!
So, who exactly is the one who’s out of place?
Both sides turned to look at the former crown prince, lounging comfortably in the Imperial Stables. They were sure of it: he was the one who was out of place!
Ji Cheng hadn’t expected that his madcap decision to lie flat would attract even more attention. He was moved from the Imperial Stables to Xian’an Palace, and his treatment improved in every way.
He gave the fourth prince a cold laugh. “Do you know what’ll happen if you don’t let me laze around?”
From that day on, the spirit of working 996 hours a week hung over the Forbidden City. The princes were either working or on their way to work.
Ji Cheng leisurely listened to music and didn’t forget to urge them on: “Work a little harder today, and the Qing dynasty will fall a little later!”
