I Transmigrated into the Nine Princes' Succession Struggle and Stole Yongzheng's Throne

Lin Yue, a modern history enthusiast, unexpectedly transmigrates into the Kangxi era and becomes the young Fourteenth Prince, Yinti. Knowing how the struggle among the nine princes ends, he understands that the future Yongzheng Emperor, Yinzhen, will come out on top. But the wheels of fate quietly shift the moment Lin Yue arrives.

He takes Yongzheng’s most trusted aides, changes the honors earned in crucial battles, and even amid the turmoil following Kangxi’s death, uses his control over both the imperial edict and military command to stage a...
