The Sixth Prince Never Starts Trouble, He Only Makes It

Xiao Yan, a modern-day street punk, transmigrates into a power-struggle novel and becomes the Sixth Prince, a helpless boy raised in the Cold Palace. From the start, he’s handed a death sentence: at sixteen, he’ll be sacrificed and sent to the Xiongnu to marry a fierce princess, who will beat him to death.

With a hundred-square-meter storage space, he’s determined to defy fate. On the surface, he acts timid and meek, letting everyone push him around. In secret, he climbs over palace walls, robs corrupt officials of their ill-gotten wealth, secretly opens brothels and pawnshops, and builds an intelligence network covering the entire country.

The arrogant, tyrannical crown prince? Xiao Yan sets him up, only to see him exiled. His sinister, unhinged second brother? An assassination attempt leaves him crippled instead. His smiling tiger of a third brother? Evidence of corruption ruins his reputation.

He only wanted to lie low, make money, and survive, but his emperor father keeps an eye on him. Xiao Yan charges ahead whenever there’s trouble or money to be made, while his father secretly bails him out and cleans up after him. Once Xiao Yan catches on, he grows bolder and bolder, making the emperor so angry that his veins stand out, yet the emperor still treats this sweet-faced, scheming son as his most precious treasure.

No female lead, all career focus.
