A modern man awakens as the supposedly foolish crown prince of a collapsing dynasty, just as corrupt ministers prepare to strip him of his title. Everyone expects an easy victory—until the prince reveals a mind and strength no one knew he possessed. Working with the emperor, he exposes traitors, breaks the factions controlling the court, and rebuilds an administration on the verge of ruin. Every crisis tests whether he can turn knowledge into authority before the kingdom falls apart. Mocked as an idiot and surrounded by enemies, he must prove that persistence can reverse even the worst fate—and that the dynasty’s greatest ruler may be the heir everyone tried to discard.
