I transmigrated.
The good news: I was born into a wealthy family this time around, with no worries about food or clothing.
The bad news: We’re the former dynasty’s royal family, and the whole family is tightening its belts while plotting to restore the old regime.
But the State of Chu is currently at the height of its power, with peace throughout the land. Rebellion would mean certain death. So Xu Hao had no choice but to make a decision that went against his ancestors’ wishes.
His father: “We’re members of the former imperial house, and you’re going to call the enemy your father and take the current dynasty’s civil service exam?”
His grandfather: “You wretch! Have you forgotten the great wish held by every generation of the Xu family’s ancestors, to restore our homeland?”
With the family opposed to him and their survival hanging by a thread, Xu Hao could only cry, “I’m going undercover! Taking office at court is all part of my cover. I’ll climb all the way to the top, step by step, and prepare for the Xu family’s future rebellion.”
Many years later.
Xu Hao was always by the empress’s side. He had been made Prince of Qin, appointed to the same rank as the chief ministers of the Phoenix and Luan Pavilions, given the title of Censor-in-Chief, and made Grand Commander of You and Liang Provinces.
The Xu family was stunned. “You said you were going undercover. How did you end up as Chu’s acting emperor?”
