Great Tang: Li Shimin Faked His Death, So I Ascended the Throne

After transmigrating into the body of Li Shimin’s third son, Li Ke decides to become an idle prince and coast through life until his natural death. He never expects Li Shimin to fake his death while traveling through the underworld in spirit, hoping to test his sons.

Prodded into action by the fortune-telling Yuan Tiangang, Li Ke storms the palace with three thousand Bad People and wrests the throne from his brothers.

“Your Majesty, you can’t keep playing dead. If you do, Prince Wu really will become emperor.”

“Never mind. Let me see how he does as emperor.”

Hidden behind the scenes, Li Shimin watches his son build the Tang dynasty into an age of prosperity, and finally puts his mind at ease.

“He’s a better emperor than I ever was!”
