The Foolish Crown Prince: Secret Archaeology Genius

share time: 2025-12-19 00:33:57

Lin Shen, a penniless archaeology professor, stayed up late revising papers—only to wake up as Chu Zhao, the "foolish crown prince" of Great Chu. One second he was handling Shang Dynasty oracle bones, the next he was pinned against a garden rockery by Su Wanwan, the prime minister’s daughter, with a sword to his throat: "You rogue!" The original Chu Zhao had harassed her yesterday. Lin Shen quickly used his archaeology knowledge to identify the "phoenix-patterned hairpin" in her hair as a Western Zhou relic, stunning Su Wanwan. Then, Princess Li Yao of Xi Qiang arrived with fine horses to propose, while Princess A'ya of Bei Rong showed up with a scimitar, shouting, "I’ll only marry him!" How did the rumored fool become a "catch" for two foreign princesses? His half-brother Chu Ye spread "ghosts in the Eastern Palace" rumors to frame him, but Lin Shen reinforced the palace with rammed earth (from archaeology) and explained "ghost fire" as phosphorous combustion, humiliating Chu Ye publicly. He also used the *Gan Shi Xing Jing* to debunk the "comet divine punishment" and predicted a lunar eclipse that came true—winning over all ministers. When Chu Ye allied with the grand marshal to rebel, Lin Shen used ancient siege weapon knowledge to crush the rebels overnight and capture Chu Ye. Now, standing in the Golden Luan Palace, Lin Shen faces a choice: return to his poor professor life in the modern world, or stay as the powerful crown prince with Su Wanwan (who’s fallen for his wisdom) and A'ya (who admires his courage)?
