How a Shrewd Prince Became a Powerhouse

Modern engineering PhD Tian Qi transmigrates into a foolish hostage of the Prince of Qi in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Trapped in prison and betrayed, he pretends to be an idiot to survive. Using modern knowledge, he crafts deadly weapons, shocks the capital by defeating the top scholar with an AK-47, and dazzles the Northern Di with his skills. Forced to become the Phoenix Lord of Empress Jiang Yan, he later discovers his uncle Tian Wen conspires with the Northern Di, threatening the state. Teaming up with the Empress, Tian Qi uses futuristic technology and strategy to defeat the rebels, reclaim lost territories, and dismantle the Su Prime Minister's treasonous network.
