Synopsis
A modern engineering PhD wakes up in Tang-dynasty China as Su Hao (苏昊), the younger cousin of the Crown Princess, and is known around the capital as "Simpleton Su" (苏憨子). Grateful for the way his sister (the Crown Princess, of the Su family) raised him, he takes up a pair of hammers and vows to protect her.
The story is driven by what the Crown Princess suffers in her husband's family and who is behind it. The great aristocratic clans plot against her over and over, and the emperor, Li Shimin, is drawn to the technology she holds but plays favourites among his sons and tends to smooth things over. Each time she is wronged, Su Hao answers: he uses his modern knowledge and his strength to cure the Crown Prince's leg, make fine salt that breaks the clans' hold, and build a stove to warm the palace.
In the fourth season the Empress Zhangsun falls gravely ill and Su Hao risks a gamble with an unusual medicine to stabilise her. Its effects draw attention from every side: generals hope it can treat wounded soldiers back from the front, an audit scandal inside the palace lets him expose corruption, and the clans scheme to seize the drug and other lucrative businesses. He partners with Princess Chengyang in trade while the clans try to bind him through marriage, and the contest over court and harem begins.
The tone is a power-fantasy revenge drama in a palace-intrigue (domestic-feud) frame: the heroine keeps winning, and the opponents are famous historical figures.

About the Show
大唐憨婿之我姐姐是太子妃 is a Mandarin-language AI microdrama (AI剧, listed by Hongguo as an AI live-action-style 仿真人 short drama) released in numbered seasons on the Hongguo short-drama platform. This record covers the whole series. The fourth season's page on Hongguo lists 263 episodes.
In October 2026 a Sohu article on AI short dramas said the third season had set the highest heat record yet for Hongguo's AI live-action-style short dramas, ending the run at the top of the chart held by 都重生了，谁还装富二代啊. The article describes the show as a female-oriented story disguised as a male-oriented one: the transmigrated brother does the fighting, but the sister's treatment by her in-laws sets the plot.
The same article says the creators use AI mainly to cut cost and raise output. Camera language, sets, blocking and storytelling follow the established conventions of live-action short drama, and the scenes could have been shot with real actors, it says. Hongguo's own AI-drama category carries the series.
No studio or generation models are named on its Hongguo page. Unofficial re-uploads and recap videos of several seasons circulate on YouTube, with tens of thousands of views each.
