A Crown Prince Who Wins by Doing Nothing, I Truly Don't Want to Ascend the Throne!

Lin Chen transmigrates into a world of nine princes fighting for the throne, becoming the disgraced crown prince-in-waiting and a target for everyone.

Knowing full well that his emperor father is the ultimate boss, he realizes that striving is just asking to get himself killed.

Then it hits him: Why work so hard? Wouldn’t it be better to lie flat?

While his brothers fight over power, he plays mahjong and enjoys hot pot in the Eastern Palace;

When his emperor father puts him through one test after another, he instantly admits fault: “Yep, you’re absolutely right”;

When the court officials impeach and attack him, he simply gives up: “Please depose me and lock me away.”

And yet...

Somehow, while lying flat, he solves the canal transport crisis. He accidentally foils a world-shaking conspiracy, and while rescuing the emperor, he only wants to dodge work, yet winds up with a major accomplishment!

As loyal ministers and able generals flock to his side, the emperor’s gaze grows increasingly strange. Lin Chen panics: “Don’t come any closer! I really just want to be a carefree salted fish.” See how history’s most “unambitious” crown prince, while bent on getting himself deposed, ends up winning the whole world by doing the opposite.
