Dad! If We Don't Rebel Soon, I'll Just Take the Throne Myself

After transmigrating into the heir of the Prince of Han, who commands a powerful army, Chu Xiu thought he could spend this life living the ultimate rich young master's dream: listening to music in a pleasure house, walking his dogs, and hunting birds.

Who knew he'd accidentally open his father's diary and be completely floored? His father was plotting a rebellion every single day!

To avoid having his entire clan exterminated, Chu Xiu packs his bags overnight and voluntarily heads to the capital as a hostage, hoping to prove his loyalty to the emperor by "giving up and doing nothing."

To ruin his own reputation, he gets into business. The honeycomb briquettes he casually invents end up monopolizing the capital's heating market and doubling the national treasury's income!

To antagonize the crown prince, he makes up a grueling Special Forces Training Manual. Instead, it turns the Eastern Palace guards into the strongest army in the land!

In front of all the court officials, he relentlessly criticizes the government, hoping to get demoted. The old emperor instead wipes away tears: "Such a once-in-a-generation genius! My trusted minister, the one I've chosen to safeguard my heir!"

Three years later, his father, the Prince of Han, who has been painstakingly preparing to stage an uprising, finally sends him a secret letter: "Son, the time has come. I'll raise an army and rescue you right away!"

Chu Xiu squats on the dragon throne, munching on sunflower seeds. He grabs the ruler beside him, whom he's schemed against so thoroughly they've become brothers, and says, "Dad, stop messing around and bring your troops to the capital to perform the grand ceremony. I've already ascended the throne!"
