[No System] [play the pig to eat the tiger] [Court intrigue] [An unconventional prince consort] [Feel-good story from start to finish]
After transmigrating into the body of the good-for-nothing only son of the Grand Chancellor of Great Chu, Zhang Xian opens his eyes to find the emperor forcing him to marry an arrogant princess as her prince consort, intending to use her as a hostage to control the Zhang family. Zhang Xian laughs scornfully in public: "Whoever wants to marry the princess can do it. I just want to build a career!"
He refuses to fawn over the royal family and declines to consummate the marriage. Under the guise of being an utterly dissolute playboy, he carries out ruthless strategies. He cracks a major imperial examination scandal, implements new salt and iron policies, and allies with military clans, turning the court upside down. He studies under a reclusive master of Guigu, storms the Bloodshadow Assassin Tower, and brings the demonic sect and the righteous path under his command, becoming the undisputed ruler of the martial world.
When the officials of the entire court and the haughty princess finally look back, the former number-one good-for-nothing in the capital has already seized power over the court and secured the empire!
