Reborn as the Villainous Young Prince in an Old-School Novel

After falling off his horse, Ye Mitian, the second prince of the Jing Dynasty, remembered his past life and realized he had transmigrated into an old-fashioned novel, where he had become a minor villain.

In the book, he was the son of a favored consort, with alluring eyes, a face as handsome as Pan An's, and an elegant, charming air. But he was also frivolous, and made a pass at the heroine as soon as he appeared. Later, relying on his father's favor, he repeatedly opposed the crown prince, the male lead, and schemed to seize the throne. His schemes kept backfiring, and when his identity as a fake prince was finally exposed, he was banished from the palace, reduced to begging, and died miserably in the street.

Ye Mitian, who had just caused the crown prince to fall into the water: ...

A servant cautiously asked from the side, "Your Highness, I hear the crown prince has caught a chill. Will you visit him?"

The servant was astonished. His master hadn't gone to bother the crown prince for three whole days. Had he really changed his ways?

Ye Mitian, who had looked listless, immediately raised an eyebrow. "Go! Of course I'm going! I have to gloat over him to his face!"

Whether he stuck his head out or pulled it back, he was doomed either way. He had antagonized the crown prince enough over the years, and once the crown prince took the throne, he certainly wouldn't let him off. Rather than abase himself and curry favor, he might as well enjoy himself before he died!

Throughout the entire book, no one but him could get under the skin of that scheming, dark-hearted crown prince!

Later, after Ye Mitian had had his fill of acting wild and doing as he pleased, he planned to take his mother and flee far away.

But the new emperor, usually the very picture of a gentleman, stood in the doorway with a dark look in his eyes and asked with a smile, "Where are you going, little brother?"

Reader's notes:

1. A calculating, seemingly sweet crown prince top x a carefree, frivolous, high-maintenance second prince bottom. No blood relation. HE, and each other's first love.

2. The original heroine will not be villainized.

3. Written for fun and practice. It probably won't be long.

4. Title and blurb subject to revision.
