CompletedYin Zhuo transmigrates into a novel set in a parallel Qing Dynasty and becomes Yin Zuo, the Sixth Prince. His father is Emperor Kangxi, his mother is Consort De, and his elder brother is the Crown Prince, the future heir to the throne.
Good news: He didn't die at the age of five, as recorded in history.
Bad news: It’s currently Kangxi’s 34th year, and Yin Zuo is now 15 years old, with only three months left before his destined death.
Yin Zhuo decides to give up and enjoy his remaining days, but after a serious illness, Kangxi and his family discover that they can hear his inner thoughts.
Inner Voice: "Oh, so this is my long-lived emperor father, reigning for over 60 years? Up earlier than a rooster, working harder than a dog—no wonder he's bald!"
Kangxi: "I shave it on purpose!"
Inner Voice: "Wow, that's my brainless eldest brother. Bet he’s researching fertility recipes again. Don't bother—your kid will be here by September. Poor sister-in-law. If someone made me have children nonstop, I'd slap them twice."
That night, news spreads: the eldest brother gets kicked out of his wife's chambers!
Inner Voice: "Oh, there’s my cold, ruthless fourth brother, Emperor Yongzheng. Such a scary face! Just kidding. I’m not scared. Nyah, nyah, nyah!"
Fourth Brother: "...Excuse me?"
Believing Yin Zuo is mentally ill, the family dismisses his antics, but Yin Zhuo, knowing he’s going to die, recklessly causes chaos in the Forbidden City. As the three-month deadline passes, Yin Zuo anxiously wonders why he’s still alive. His pleas to die become the source of endless amusement for Kangxi and his brothers, who decide: "Dream on, you’re living!"
