The Idle Ninth Prince of the Celestial Empire

In the sprawling Eternal Plane, the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, Wei, gains a terrifying new power after a heavenly lightning strike: the ability to peer into every mind across his vast domain. Amidst the swirling currents of ambition and deceit, one thought stands out – the surprisingly coherent, utterly mundane musings of his seemingly idle Ninth Prince, Wei Yu. Unbeknownst to his imperial father, Wei Yu is a modern soul trapped in an ancient body, armed with a mysterious digital tablet in his mind, brimming with knowledge from another world. He yearns for nothing but quiet leisure, yet his modern insights, inadvertently revealed through his thoughts, spark a silent revolution. As the Emperor covertly utilizes Wei Yu's 'idle' brilliance, the prince finds himself accidentally transforming the immortal empire through unprecedented reforms, advanced governance, and cultivation-driven civilization building. But the very tranquility he seeks is threatened by the insidious forces he unwittingly exposes, forcing him to become the ideal heir, whether he wants to or not.
