Qi Chengming transmigrated into a book with an “Infrastructure System”.
He became the background character Second Prince in a succession struggle novel, exiled to establish a fiefdom in a wasteland right from the start – no people, no money, only land. In the original story, after the Seventh Prince ascended the throne as the new emperor, he would casually have Qi Chengming killed. The future seemed bleak and hopeless.
To save himself! Qi Chengming rolled up his sleeves and devised several strategies:
First, use the knowledge from the system to scientifically develop infrastructure and quietly develop his fiefdom.
Second, disguise himself and become a talent scout, recruiting the talented individuals from the original story to accumulate power for the succession struggle.
Third, make money, make money, and desperately make more money.
Once he developed his strength in secret, he would eventually march back to the capital!

But Qi Chengming never expected one thing:
When he painstakingly traveled to his fiefdom with his belongings, expecting life to be bitterly difficult, his luck along the way turned out to be excessively good?
Every disaster turned into blessing, opportunities fell right into his lap, and his life kept getting better and better. Even the original main and supporting characters he intended to recruit – those famous generals and important ministers who would later assist the Seventh Prince in the original story – now gathered around him without any resistance.
Qi Chengming: ‘…?’
This is quite unbelievable.
He thought he’d be playing on hell mode after transmigrating, but it turned out to be easy mode!
…It’s just that he always felt those potential talents were smiling at him a bit too enthusiastically, as if they were hiding something. Qi Chengming maintained some caution, fearing betrayal, and made thorough preparations while secretly waiting for them to make their move.
He waited and waited, but this waiting continued until Qi Chengming himself ascended the throne, with nothing happening.
Qi Chengming’s mentality collapsed: ‘…?’
What exactly is going on? Are you all secretly competing for ‘favor’?!

On the day the new emperor of Ding Kingdom was laid to rest, his ministers wept uncontrollably, overwhelmed with grief. Those with weaker constitutions fainted multiple times from crying, wishing they could follow him in death. The common people spontaneously saw him off for dozens of miles, their cries echoing through the mountains and fields.
The ministers could never forget how this brilliant new emperor miraculously transformed from an obscure feudal prince to become the crown prince and succeed to the throne. How he turned the tide to save the crumbling Ding Kingdom, cleansed the court administration, reorganized various departments, handled affairs with sharpness and experience, and managed the country to growing prosperity.
If he had survived, he would have surely led everyone to a more glorious future.
…It could only be blamed on the Second Prince’s difficult and rugged upbringing since childhood, with no one to care for him, which left him with a sickly constitution and an early death. Now, thinking back, everything was already beyond remedy.
The grieving ministers closed their eyes, and when they woke up, they found they had all returned to the time when the new emperor was still an obscure feudal prince.
The ministers: ‘…………’
The ministers: ‘!!!’
There’s such a good thing?!
