After the Villainous Crown Prince Turned into a Couch Potato, His Scheming Imperial Uncle Spoiled Him Rotten

Li Sui Sui transmigrates into a book as the villain.

In the original story, Crown Prince Jing Heng is jealous that the emperor favors his own uncle, Prince Zhuang.

He keeps tripping Prince Zhuang up and even steals the prince's beloved, the heroine Li Chan, and brings her into the Crown Prince's residence.

Prince Zhuang flies into a rage for the sake of his beloved.

Working with Li Chan from the inside, he makes the emperor lose faith in the Crown Prince and have him confined to the Cold Palace.

But even in the Cold Palace, the Crown Prince refuses to behave and plots a rebellion. In the end, Prince Zhuang kills him.

Now the story is one-third of the way through, and the Crown Prince has already brought his beloved heroine into his residence.

Somehow, something has gone wrong: she turns out to be a substitute, a fake Crown Prince who is actually a woman in disguise.

Li Sui Sui is surrounded by enemies. She has to keep her identity from being exposed and stay alive.

All she wants is to give up the Crown Prince's position as soon as possible and leave the capital to take up her fief.

Later, the emperor dies.

To save her life, Li Sui Sui flees the capital.

She just has to wait for Prince Zhuang to ascend the throne, and then the story will be over.

Far from the capital, Li Sui Sui returns to her true identity as a woman, dresses in pretty skirts, puts on beautiful makeup, and looks forward to a peaceful retirement.

But the throne remains vacant for several months.

Her retirement plan falls apart, and Prince Zhuang, his eyes bloodshot, corners her against a wall. “Sui Sui, will you be emperor or empress?”

“Um... can I choose neither?”

“No!”

Lin Yingqian thought the Crown Prince would be his defeated opponent, but in the end, he became hers, willing to give her everything.

P.S. They are not related by blood. The heroine is a woman disguised as the fake Crown Prince.
