Transmigration: The Laid-Back Prince Turns Out to Be an Emperor for the Ages?!

(A new author, with a female prime minister later in the story.)

(The female prime minister doesn’t appear until later, so please be patient.)

Year Thirty of Longqi, Great Wei.

The aging Emperor Taizong Wen of Wei lay on his sickbed, yet still had not named an heir.

Soon, a bloody storm erupted: a struggle between the two palaces, with disaster brewing within the imperial household.

Huang Zhuan, the Third Prince, who had been idling away his days in the Divine Capital, was also forced into the turmoil.

“What? The Prince of Yan has entered the Eastern Palace?!”

“What? The throne is vacant, and I’ve become Crown Prince?!”

“What? Father has passed away?! I’m emperor now?!”

Faced with one sudden upheaval after another, Huang Zhuan’s days of slacking came to an end.

Then he faced a dangerous political situation: foreign forces from the northern desert were advancing south toward the Divine Capital, while at home, his position was insecure and his power base still weak.

To protect his life, health, and property, he was forced to launch a series of reforms and take the exhausting path of becoming a wise ruler.

Minister: “Your Majesty has the makings of the founding emperor and the talent of a mighty ruler!”

Female Prime Minister: “Your Majesty is truly a sage sovereign for the ages!”

Commoners: “Your Majesty is truly an emperor for the ages!”

Huang Zhuan: “In my last life, I worked myself to death like a beast of burden. In this life, I’m still working myself to death like a beast of burden. I just want to lie flat and slack off! Aaaaaah!!!!!”
