You Call Me a Stand-In? The Emperor Checks the Royal Genealogy and Calls Me His Imperial Uncle

When other people transmigrate, they become emperors or crown princes.

But when Li Fan opened his eyes, he had become a substitute, suffering endless torment.

Li Fan plotted a counterattack and took the place of the original, only to discover that the man he had replaced was a good-for-nothing playboy whose own father didn't love him, whose stepmother showed him no kindness, and whose entire family wished him dead.

Everyone thought he was useless and should die in silence.

Li Fan defied the odds. He made a name for himself through poetry, entered the court through military achievements, earned the emperor's respect as a man of rare talent, and became a close friend of the crown prince. Before long, he was the world-renowned Confucian patriarch of The Analects of Luan.

In an age of great upheaval, the emperor and crown prince died one after another.

The new ruler took Li Fan by the hand and said, "The chancellor is the descendant of Emperor Taizong Wen, and my imperial uncle. My uncle and I will rule the realm together."
