The Underdog's Rise: From Abandoned Son to Emperor

[Historical What-If]+ [Scheming]+ [Political Intrigue] In the spring of the twentieth year of the Dakang Tianming era, Emperor Taizu Kang Zhu Jiujin, who had spent his life fighting and conquering, died of illness in Qianhe Palace. The next day, Zhu Yingtian, the second legitimate son of Zhu Jiujin, ascended the throne in Zichen Hall and adopted the reign title Zhengtong. The eldest legitimate son, Crown Prince Zhu Chengtian, had been away seeking medicine for Zhu Jiujin and had yet to return. For no apparent reason, he was branded a criminal who had used witchcraft to murder his father. Empress Dowager Wang issued an edict stripping him of his position as Crown Prince. Unwilling to kill him because he was a member of the imperial clan, she instead demoted him to a third-rank prince and bestowed upon him the title Prince Ning. Zhu Chen, who transmigrates into the body of Prince Ning's heir, also becomes an outcast of the entire Dakang imperial family. In five years, he is transferred between fiefdoms ten times. What will become of Zhu Chen's fate? Rather than drift with the tide, he might as well become emperor himself. Watch Zhu Chen ride the winds of change and rise to the throne!
