Emperor Wei, struck by heavenly lightning, gains a terrifying new ability: mind-reading. As the Celestial Empire trembles under his omniscient gaze, every courtier's ambition and treachery are laid bare. Yet, one voice remains a perplexing anomaly – his ninth prince, Wei Yu. A cheerful recluse, Wei Yu seems content to live a life of tranquil leisure, his thoughts surprisingly mundane, unlike the scheming nobles. Unknown to all, Wei Yu carries a secret from a modern Earth, a powerful data-tablet in his mind. Driven by a desire for a peaceful existence, his 'idle' reforms—inspired by forgotten knowledge—unintentionally begin to revolutionize the immortal empire. From agricultural innovation to civic administration and advanced cultivation techniques, his actions reshape the realm, transforming it into a beacon of prosperity. But this accidental ascent draws the ire of hidden powers and ancient traditions, placing the unassuming prince and his entire new world on a perilous path where his very peace threatens to ignite an empire-wide conflict. Can an 'idle' prince with modern knowledge truly guide an ancient empire, especially when its Emperor hears his every thought?
