Great Han: Transmigrating as the Crown Prince's Grandson, I Avert the Witchcraft Massacre

In the first year of Zhenghe, Liu Jin transmigrates into the Han dynasty as the emperor's legitimate grandson. He is dreaming of outliving his father and ascending the throne when a sudden thunderclap jolts him awake: the Witchcraft Calamity is less than a year away, and his name is right there on the death list.

His father, the Crown Prince, is mild-mannered and generous. His grandmother, the empress, is losing the emperor's favor. The Gongsun and Wei clans, both imperial in-law families, wield great power, and undercurrents churn through the court. Liu Jin knows that in history, everyone loses this game, and the Eastern Palace line is slaughtered at Weiyang Palace. But he also knows that the man making the moves is Emperor Wu of Han himself, the man who ascended the throne at sixteen and still has a piercing gaze at seventy. He is never confused.

On the day snow falls over Weiyang Palace, Liu Jin forces his way through the palace gates and kicks aside the eunuch blocking his path. "I am His Majesty's own grandson!" Emperor Wu looks up from the hall. What he sees is not a timid imperial grandson, but a young tiger baring its fangs.

When he exposes the forged accounts on the imperial desk with a single remark, when Gongsun Jingsheng goes from death row to a living witness, and when former followers of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing secretly pass him a letter saying, "Should the imperial grandson have need of us, the Wei clan will stand with him, in life or death," Liu Jin finally understands: to break the Witchcraft Calamity, he must stand before Emperor Wu of Han.
