The Sixth Prince Is Playing Dumb Again Today

The day Ye Su transmigrated into the Great Jing Dynasty as the sixth prince, he was lying in the palace hall, pretending to be dead.

The princes pressured him to confess, the emperor watched coldly, and the court officials were waiting to kick him while he was down.

No one knew that this sixth prince, whom everyone took for a useless wastrel, had an entire modern database of political schemes in his head.

He smiled and played the coward, kneeling to plead guilty and etching the words "weak and incompetent" into his very bones.

Then he began to scheme.

His personal eunuch skimmed his stipend? He said nothing, letting the man grow so greedy that his whole family was executed.

The fifth prince spread rumors to humiliate him? He neither argued nor fought back, letting the gossip fester until it became the other man's death warrant.

The princes joined forces to hunt him down? He took one step back, then another, until everyone thought he had accepted his fate.

It wasn't until the night of the palace coup

that everyone realized the useless wastrel who had been poisoned and mocked for ten years was the only one moving the pieces on this board.

"You think I've been lying low? No. I've been directing a grand play all along, one that would draw every one of you into your roles."

He transmigrated straight into a desperate situation, with no powerful maternal relatives, no court allies, and no strength of arms.

His only weapon was making people believe he wanted nothing at all.
