The Crown Prince? Not Even a Dog Would Take That Job! I Want to Be a Playboy!

[Farming novel]

After unexpectedly transmigrating to Great Heng, Li Wen'an discovers that he is the current royal family's eldest legitimate son. He immediately feels as if the sky has fallen!

What is an ancient emperor? The ruler of all under Heaven?

Nonsense! Isn't he just the biggest workhorse in the realm?

There's no way he's taking the position of Crown Prince!

The problem is, his previous self was exceptionally capable, so the current emperor, Li Hongjing, thinks very highly of him.

When Li Hongjing sees his precious eldest son start turning into a wastrel after a serious illness, how could he possibly accept it?

So Li Hongjing starts trying every possible way to correct Li Wen'an's attitude.

To avoid becoming a workhorse, Li Wen'an can only rack his brains for excuses to refuse.

After a battle of wits and wills, Li Wen'an decides to train another suitable heir for Old Li so that the emperor will let him off the hook.

Everything had been planned perfectly, but who could have guessed that the new heir would refuse to do it!

As the saying goes, comparison is the thief of joy. It doesn't take long for the new heir, who has been helping govern, to lose it:

“Why does Eldest Brother get to spend every day carousing, playing with dogs and walking his birds, while I have to sit here reading memorials day after day? I'm done!”

Li Hongjing is dumbfounded.

“What? This is the position of Crown Prince, the throne you'll inherit, the seat of supreme power!

Have you all gone mad?!

Throughout history, how many people have fought tooth and nail for the throne? And now you can't even stand the sight of it?

Keep this up, and I might just call it quits too! Just wait until the realm falls into chaos. Let's see how you plan to spend your days carousing then!”

Li Wen'an: “Why don't you keep being emperor, Old Li? You're at the age to make your mark. Why try to learn from us kids?”
