The Worthless Last-Ranked Prince Becomes a Legendary Emperor, Season 3

About the story

Li Chengze, Prince of Jing’an, only wants to get himself killed in a way that meets the rules so he can return to modern times as the richest man. Yet after putting down the rebellion in the capital and destroying the Wang clan’s treasonous plot, he launches a sweeping reckoning against the remnants of the great families. Raids and investigations shake the court and the realm, while Li Chenghong, Prince of Huai, lies low and secretly plots a counterattack. As political storms gather again, Li Chengze confronts the great families’ monopoly over government careers and the hardships facing ordinary people. He pushes for reform of the imperial examinations, establishes government schools, emphasizes practical learning, breaks the power of hereditary clans and punishes corruption. He even sends lofty officials to reclaim barren mountains so they can experience the people’s hardships firsthand. A transformation that will shake the old order of the realm begins.
