The Exceptional Prince: Mother Empress, Hold On. Let Me Get a Word In First

[No System + Ruthless and Decisive + No Goody-Two-Shoes + Court Power Struggles + Ascending the Throne + Wars Between Empires]

Song Cheng transmigrates into the body of a foolish prince who's about to get married. The moment he opens his eyes, he sees his breathtakingly beautiful new wife, a woman who could bring a kingdom to ruin.

But before Song Cheng can make a move, his disgusted wife kicks him off the bed.

Song Cheng: “Oh? What lovely feet!”

The princess consort: “???”

That night, the empress storms into his bedchamber with her entourage.

As the empress bears down on him, Song Cheng raises a finger. “Mother, please wait. Allow your son to get a word in!”

Then Song Cheng turns the tables and leaves her utterly convinced.

With the old emperor unable to control his princes and grandsons, he wants to live out his days in peace. He issues an edict naming Song Cheng crown prince and granting him full regency powers, thrusting him into the heart of the struggle for the throne.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, Song Cheng seizes the opportunity to rise quickly!

Political scheming and patient restraint? Not a chance! When an ordinary man flies into a rage, blood splashes three feet. When an emperor is enraged, rivers of blood must flow!

The Minister of Revenue pleads for his corrupt son?

Guards! Flay the old bastard and his little beast for me!

The Vice Minister of War “follows imperial orders” to abduct a commoner's daughter?

Send every woman in his family to the imperial singing house, then tell the people that farmers get a twenty-percent discount!

When the people submit a petition praising him as a “Wise and Virtuous Ruler,” Emperor Song Cheng, now seated on the throne, smiles scornfully.

I'm nothing but a foolish emperor. Those who follow me can share my bed!

I'm nothing but a tyrant. Those who defy me will have their entire families executed!
