After My Father Read My Mind, I Was Forced to Grind My Way into Becoming Crown Prince

[Female-to-male transmigration + bound to the wrong System + unhinged, reckless antics + wish-fulfillment + a little court intrigue + a little deification]

Emperor Xiao Junhao of Great Qian never claimed to be a wise ruler, but he wasn’t a tyrant either. Then, in a single day, his kingdom fell. He was executed by being cut in half at the waist, and his body was abandoned in the street.

His princes were busy fleeing, colluding with the enemy, and fighting for power. Only the little son he liked least, the one he regularly beat and scolded, stood up to defend the imperial city and died for his country.

When he opened his eyes again, Xiao Junhao had returned to the time before everything happened. He had just climbed out of his coffin and was about to give his youngest son a loving hug when he heard someone sigh,

[How did that old emperor suddenly come back to life? How is he supposed to escape now?]

[That old geezer’s so pitiful. Look at his sons, they’re practically crying with laughter!]

Emperor of Great Qian: ?!

Modern office worker Lin Wan worked herself to death, then transmigrated into Xiao Qingyan, a disposable prince in an old-fashioned novel.

To avoid the fate awaiting him in the novel, Xiao Qingyan secretly built up his strength, saved money to escape, and planned to leave the main plot behind and live a free life.

But to his utter surprise, the Emperor of Great Qian, who was supposed to die at the end of the story, suddenly drowned and passed away!

Before Xiao Qingyan could celebrate and run off, the supposedly dead emperor came back to life, bringing him an unreliable Wise Ruler Workaholic System.

A wise ruler? Ha, not even a dog would take that job!

A workaholic? No thanks, goodbye!

[Ding! Host binding error detected. Compensation has been requested for the Host: upon death, you will immediately return home and inherit a fortune worth tens of billions.]

Xiao Qingyan: !!!

There’s an offer like that? Why should he, Xiao Qingyan, spare his life?

If he can’t get himself killed, then he’ll die trying!

But before long, Xiao Qingyan gradually realized that all his efforts to get himself killed were bringing him closer and closer to the position of Crown Prince...
