share time: 2026-02-07 06:03:01

Emperor Xiao Chongguang of Daqi lies critically ill. The entire court awaits Crown Prince Xiao Cong's succession, but he points at his youngest son Xiao Heng—who just climbed over the wall—and shouts, "Rebellious son! You must take the throne!" Xiao Heng refuses on the spot—he's long tired of the royal family, working as a tavern waiter outside, and has a secret affection for the tavern owner Shen Zhaozhao. But when his father reveals the late Empress's suicide note, it uncovers a court conspiracy behind his mother's death: only by ascending the throne can he find the truth and protect those he cares about. The rebellious young prince is forced to wear the dragon robe. He battles wits with old ministers, deals with the crown prince's suspicion, uses his "waiter" identity to investigate the case, and even protects Shen Zhaozhao from the turmoil. A "rebellious son's" throne counterattack hides the secrets of family love and the turbulence of the court.
