The Deposed Crown Prince's Rise: From the Start, One Slap to the Imperial Consort's Face

[System] + [Summoning] + [Conquest] + [Lottery] I am Li Yuan, the crown prince. Though I live in the Eastern Palace, I have neither a mother empress nor a powerful family to protect me. Alone, I walk through the perilous imperial palace. After my mother and maternal grandfather passed away, I was so overcome with grief that I took to my bed and developed a strange illness. I must take medicinal decoctions every day just to stay alive. They’ve left me with heavy-metal poisoning, and people mockingly call me the Sickly Crown Prince. I always hear a voice in my ear: “Time for your medicine, young master?” I rank fourth among the princes and have achieved nothing. The princes and other contenders circle like wolves. All eight of my brothers want the throne. At the very last moment of my life, I awaken the System for Deposed Crown Princes to Make a Comeback. Collect malice and misdeed points. I transmigrated only to find myself saddled with a loan for cultivation techniques. No cultivation? I’ll just cultivate to the peak by popping pills. No talented generals? Then the summon heroes from across the heavens feature is activated. Fierce generals like Dian Wei and Lü Bu, as well as Yu Huatian, Jia Xu, Donghuang Taiyi, and Yuan Tiangang, will expand my territory for me. The emperor doesn’t like me? Then I’ll follow Li Er’s example and stage the Xuanwu Gate Incident: “Father, this old geezer, kindly step down and enjoy your retirement as the Retired Emperor.” The eight princes refuse to obey? Those who behave can become idle princes. Otherwise, the court historian can write: “The Eight Princes fell from their horses and died.” The great clans are rotten to the core? Then I’ll have them write this in their family annals: “When autumn comes on the eighth day of the ninth month, the whole city will be decked in golden armor.” The sects refuse to show respect? One imperial decree is all it takes to make the lord of the strongest Heavenly Dao Sect willingly embrace death. A neighboring kingdom invades? I’ll capture that lofty empress and make her my maid, so she can learn the splendor of our Great Xia Dynasty. Perhaps we can even take some tasteful photos. “Since I’ve been given a second life, I’d rather betray the whole world than let the whole world betray me! I’ll become the tyrant everyone fears. I’ll conquer the Myriad Worlds!”
