The Villainous Heir Is a Master Flirt, and His Seven Fiancées Are Panicking

[Alternate-history political intrigue + villain transmigrates into a book + fake playboy, real clear-headed man + many heroines and tangled relationships + decisive and ruthless + lighthearted comedy]

Qin Xiu was a crisis negotiator in his previous life. One day, he transmigrates into Longyuan Sovereign, becoming a useless playboy destined not to survive sixty chapters.

His father and six brothers died in the Northern Frontier, staining the ground with their blood. The entire family of loyal heroes was wiped out, leaving behind only an orphaned child, a widow, and the military seal that commands 120,000 Iron Cavalry of the Northern Guard.

From the start, he's in a deadly predicament: the court watches him hungrily, the chancellor closes in step by step, and the emperor issues seven successive imperial edicts arranging his marriages:

A cold, sickly princess; a lofty sword immortal determined to break off the engagement; a fiery, fiercely protective daughter of a military family; the shrewdest businesswoman in the land; a bewitching spy from an enemy kingdom; a sharp-tongued, socially anxious young doctor; and even a rebel leader from the martial world disguised as a man...

Seven deadly women gather under one roof. On the surface, they're fiancées brought in to bring him good luck, but every sleeve hides a knife meant to kill!

Worse still, Lin Fan, the chosen son of the original novel, is lying low in the stables, swearing to seize his family's property, break both his legs, and take his fiancée.

Faced with this disastrous start, Qin Xiu spreads his hands:

"My whole family died as loyal heroes. What's wrong with me being a playboy?"

By day, he plays with birds and crickets and stirs up trouble. By night, he uses ledgers and an abacus to keep the world in check.

Call off the engagement? No. He'll wipe his mouth with the marriage contract!

Want to seize military power? He uses modern know-how to outmaneuver them and turn the tables, even recruiting assassins as personal bodyguards!

He thinks that once the mourning period is over, he'll be free to roam the world. But every one of his seven fiancées turns out to be more unusual than the last:

The princess draws her sword to protect him: "Anyone who harms my husband will have their entire clan executed!"

The young doctor coolly presses a hand to his pulse: "His kidneys are in perfect shape. No one is allowed to break off the engagement!"

The original male lead, Lin Fan, goes completely mad: "This isn't how the plot goes! Who's the chosen one here?!"
