Cast Aside for Taking My Father's Burden? I'll Marry the Enemy Nation's Empress

[Defiant] [Exhilarating] [Decisive and Ruthless] [Real Men Don't Inherit Their Thrones]

Li Zheng transmigrates to an ancient continent and becomes the Second Prince of the Great Jian Dynasty.

He changes the state, launches reforms, and builds a golden age with his own hands.

But after he has given everything he has, he is cast aside for his mediocre cultivation talent.

The crown prince position he was promised goes to the legitimate eldest son, and they even try to take back his power!

Just then, the Defiant System appears.

Li Zheng turns on his heel and walks away, joining an enemy nation.

You look down on my lousy talent?

I'll remake my bones and become a peerless cultivator.

You say I've run out of ideas?

With one hand, I'll raise an empress; with the other, I'll save the Great Xia as it teeters on the brink.

You think I'm too capable?

Then I'm done working. And that's not all: I'll turn around and come after you!

The enemy nation has powerful ministers?

What a joke. I'll hold the empress hostage to command the lords, and show you what a powerful minister really is.

The Three Cardinal Guides and Five Constant Virtues? Father and son, ruler and subject?

With the System at my side, I'll start my own family tree. From now on, I'm the founder of my own house!

Many years later.

Li Zheng's father stares in fury at the vast empire his abandoned son built with his own hands.

"You rebellious son! If you had this kind of ability, why didn't you use it for your own family?!?!"

Li Zheng holds the empress in his arms, with a million troops standing behind him.

He looks at the father who cast him aside and replies coolly:

"Enough talk, old man. I'll ask you one thing: are you stepping down today, or am I coming up there to make you?"
