Lin Chuan had transmigrated a month earlier, on the way back to the capital by imperial order.
He knew full well that with his father commanding a great army, entering the capital would make him a lamb on the chopping block.
If he acted clever and capable, the emperor and crown prince would find an excuse to kill him within six months.
So he simply went along with it, playing the debauched wastrel to perfection. On the way back to the capital, he took two "stunning beauties from the common folk" as concubines. On his first day in the imperial city, he forced a severely wounded, coldly beautiful woman he'd picked up by the roadside to marry him and join his household. The very next day, he made a grand spectacle of marrying his childhood sweetheart, the legitimate daughter of the Earl of Jing'an's household!
What Lin Chuan never expected was that the four beautiful wives he'd casually picked up as human shields were all vicious schemers with hearts full of wicked plans!
