After Winning the Succession Struggle: I'll Marry You as My Empress in Exchange for the Empire

In a single day, I transmigrated and became the substitute bride of a tyrannical prince.

An overworked modern office worker accidentally transmigrates into a book and becomes Mu Wanxin, the nominal Second Miss of the Duke’s household. She is forced to take her elder sister’s place and marry Chu Huaiche, the Prince of Ning, rumored to be cruel and bloodthirsty. She thought she wouldn’t survive her wedding night, but then… As she repeatedly teeters on the brink of getting herself killed, she catches sight of the scars on his wrist from self-harm and hears his agonized cries when the poison takes hold.

What secret lies hidden in the Stargazing Tower on the night of the full moon each month? As I gradually uncover the pain and restraint beneath Chu Huaiche’s “tyrannical” facade, I’m swept from a forced marriage into a whirlpool of political intrigue, and we slowly draw closer amid mutual suspicion.

From mutual loathing to understanding and devotion, from walking on eggshells to ruling the realm. Together, they carve a bloody path through the treacherous struggle for the throne, ultimately standing side by side at the pinnacle of power.

A story of redemption and growth, political intrigue and true love. See how a modern woman uses her wisdom and resilience to break through the political power struggles of the ancient world and join the once “tyrannical prince” in ushering in an era of peace and prosperity.
