Does becoming crown prince overnight, rising to a position of power and unmatched authority, really mean you've reached the pinnacle of life?
Wrong!
The royal family is the last place you'd ever find a shortage of schemes.
Especially for someone like Zhao Zhou, a prince with no power or backing, who had never stood out and was never taken seriously.
The emperor himself pushed him into the position as part of his father's own scheme.
Once he takes the throne, he'll be targeted by the other princes and their factions.
If he doesn't fight, he's as good as dead.
If he does, he'll have to rack his brains and give everything he's got.
So the safest approach is to lie low for now and play the carefree crown prince who seems utterly useless.
He can settle the rest later!
