share time: 2025-10-05 00:31:27

Lin Hao, a poor young man, passed out from overworking on a project late at night and woke up as Li Chengqian, the incompetent crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. He thought he'd live a fantasy with beauties around, but as soon as he opened his eyes, a maid dragged him to the Buddhist hall—the Queen scolded: "You disgraced the royal family by fooling around with dancers yesterday!" Then Chu Yuwei, the prime minister's daughter, smashed their engagement jade: "You can't even recite The Analects—you're not worthy of a Chu daughter!" Worse still, the emperor threw a border emergency letter: "Come up with a defense strategy in three days, or I'll depose you!" Lin Hao uses modern tricks (iced cola to please the Empress Dowager, reforming the imperial kitchen with takeout ideas) to ease palace struggles while secretly learning statecraft. He has to pretend to be a "qualified prince" to avoid exposure and dodge Third Prince's assassinations. Just as he gets the hang of it, he discovers the original Li Chengqian's "passing out" was from poison—someone wanted the crown prince gone forever...
