The Empress Betrothed Me to the Eighth Princess, but I Never Wanted to Be a Powerful Minister

Pei Zheng transmigrates into the Great Yin Dynasty and becomes the capital's most infamous useless member of the imperial clan.

To keep the regional warlords in check, the Empress grants him eight marriages in one go: a princess from the northern frontier, a saintess from the southern borders, the young mistress of the Grain Transport Guild, a widowed sister-in-law from a military family... Every one of them is a beautiful woman with thorns, each backed by a powerful faction with its own army.

The entire court waits to see the useless prince die on his wedding night, but Pei Zheng quietly awakens the “Bond System”: the stronger his wives' trust in him, the more loyal the forces behind them become!

So by day, he plays at being a good-for-nothing, drinking and chasing dogs, acting like a fool. By night, he becomes the mastermind behind the scenes, helping the princesses avenge old grudges, seize power, and kill traitors.

As the autumn wind grows colder, the princesses can't bear to see Pei Zheng suffer in the chill and compete to add another layer of clothing to his outfit...

Wearing the imperial yellow robe, Pei Zheng can only sigh mournfully: “You've... really made things hard for me!”
