Seizing the Inheritance: a Slow Start and a Violent Ending

Reborn at the age of nineteen, Zhao Yuanan, the sixth prince of the Wu Dynasty, vowed to rewrite his blood-stained past life. He was once falsely accused of treason and executed in Lingchi; his mother's family was slaughtered, and the beauty took the blame for him. In this life, he hid his ruthlessness, pretended to be gentle, secretly weaved a web, and worked hard every step of the way. Recruiting spies, controlling the imperial army, opening restaurants, making allies - all those who betray him will pay the price. And he would never miss Yue Qingqing, the legitimate daughter of the general's palace, whom he had not been able to protect in his life. The road to seizing the throne is dangerous, but he has to find a way to survive in this treacherous court where his imperial career and true love coexist.
