Chronicles of Jianghuai

[Dual male leads, transmigration, messy political scheming + love, friendship, and family]

Chu Yu is a modern man who, from childhood, has swapped bodies with an ancient man in the Kingdom of Liang who shares his name, appearance, and identity. Whenever the ancient Chu Yu's life is in danger, he finds himself in the ancient Chu Yu's body.

This time, the emperor grants Chu Yu in marriage to the Prince of Zh beizhen, who defeated the Rongdi. Rumor has it the prince's achievements are so great they threaten the throne, and that he is beautiful but cold-blooded and merciless.

Chu Yu is the legitimate son of the Chancellor's household. Being ordered to marry a man is seen as a disgrace to his family. After his father beats him with the family rod, Chu Yu despairs and bites through his tongue to kill himself.

After transmigrating and realizing he can never go back, Chu Yu thinks: Seriously, what is this?

His father doesn't care for him, his mother doesn't love him, and a cold-blooded husband awaits.

A disaster from the start.

But how could Chu Yu, a modern man, possibly give in? He takes his servant and tries to start a business.

Business: failed.

He steels himself to pursue the ancient equivalent of the college entrance exam. He opens an anthology of eight-legged essays and immediately falls asleep.

Studies: failed.

He tries to cling to his scummy father's leg and live off him, only to discover that his father was using him to spy on the Prince of Zh beizhen's residence.

Clinging to his father's leg: failed.

Just as Chu Yu decides that life is a dead end at every turn and considers staying quietly in the rear courtyard of the prince's residence, waiting for his life to pass him by as he eats, sleeps, and does nothing, the usually taciturn Prince of Zh beizhen finally breaks his silence and pours out his heart:

Three years ago, by the East Bridge, he fell in love with Chu Yu at first sight.

But the confession is interrupted when the Rongdi invade again, and the prince has no choice but to set out at once with his army.

Chu Yu is forced to stay behind in the capital, but gets swept into the tide of history. After enduring a life of hardship and wandering, he eventually makes his way to the prince's side.

After overcoming countless hardships, the two finally find their happy ending.
