After waking up, an obscure history-video blogger transmigrates to the prosperous Tang dynasty and becomes Li Chang, Prince of Shou.
It is December of the year 735.
That year, Li Chang, Prince of Shou, is appointed governor of Yizhou and military commissioner of Jiannan from afar, granted the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi, and takes Yang as his princess consort.
Seeing Yang Yuhuan in her wedding clothes, Li Chang is beside himself.
He knows that, according to history, his mother, Wu Huifei, who is deeply favored by the emperor, will die three years later. Five years later, his father, Li Longji, will take a liking to his wife, force them to divorce, and make her his consort. She will become the renowned Yang Guifei.
As a transmigrator, how can Li Chang let another man cuckold him?
So, to defend his dignity, Li Chang has no choice but to embark on a path to seize power.
Along the way, Li Chang sees the flourishing Tang at its height, with famous generals as numerous as clouds, capable officials pouring in like rain, and culture blooming in full splendor. This is the glory of the High Tang.
But beneath that glory, tensions are mounting. The people are treated like mere weeds, and the ills that will spark the An Lushan Rebellion have already taken root. The Tang dynasty is teetering on the brink.
Li Chang defended his dignity, and now he wants to preserve the glory of the High Tang, too.
