Novel Summary

Li Chen'an, a modern office worker crushed by the 996 workweek, travels back in time to become the most disliked Seventh Prince of Great Xia.

Fighting for the throne? Too exhausting!

Striving for supremacy? Too tempting!

Faced with the veiled strife of the court, he simply wants to rest and relax. He arrives in the desolate northwestern Yunzhou, hoping to fulfill his ultimate dream of a peaceful retirement. However, he finds that resting comfortably is a bit difficult.

No clean water? Purify it.

No good food? Develop new agricultural practices.

No sense of security? Build an iron army.

As a result... the poorest fiefdom became the granary of the world; the weakest private soldiers became a powerful army; the prince with the least sense of existence became a living saint in the eyes of the people...

When the whole world believed that he was the one destined by heaven...

Li Chenan wanted to cry but had no tears: "I really... just want to be a leisurely king! But my strength won't allow it!"

Please, stop squeezing me. If you keep squeezing me, I will... have to start the industrial revolution and make you play 007 every day!
