It's My Turn to Inherit the Throne

After transmigrating overnight, Jiang Yu became a notorious tyrant from history.

This tyrant was a prince who had been found and brought back halfway through his life. He had begged for food and stolen money, couldn't read a single character, and had even pretended to be a noble from the capital to get free meals and drinks. He had none of the bearing of a royal scion.

Yet somehow, a man like him ended up inheriting the throne, becoming a stain on the list of Great Jing's emperors, the sort of ruler people were still cursing five hundred years later.

Jiang Yu: "..."

With imperial luck this strong, he couldn't figure out how to screw things up.

In the fifteenth year of Yongjia, the future Emperor Chengyou had just arrived in the capital after falling on hard times. With his eloquence and handsome face, he successfully passed himself off as the illegitimate son of a marquis, planning to mooch off the marquis's household for the rest of his life.

The Zhaowu Marquis's household had only one legitimate heir, Li Sui. Most of Emperor Chengyou's disastrous decisions during his reign had something to do with Li Sui.

He withheld military provisions and delayed troop movements, stubbornly insisted on leading the imperial expedition himself, and trusted treacherous ministers, causing Li Sui's family to be destroyed. Li Sui hated him with a passion. In the end, he became thoroughly corrupted, overthrew the tyrant, and selected a young emperor from the imperial clan, ruling as Great Jing's all-powerful regent for half a century.

Jiang Yu: There's still time, there's still time. As long as I start working hard now, I can definitely make Li Sui my executive vice emperor!

He cut ties with his bad companions and turned his reputation around, then showed care for the lonely Zhaowu Marquis and his wife as their fake son. He was eloquent and graceful, and in less than two months he became the number-one most desirable man among the capital's noblewomen.

Jiang Yu: A complete image makeover, easy as pie :D

The tyrant's path was moving too slowly, so Jiang Yu took the initiative to play up his sob story and win over his emperor father's affection. He stayed up all night revising five different plans for their grand reunion, and kept trying to maintain a good relationship with the future powerful regent, clinging to Li Sui and calling him "Big Brother" this and "Big Brother" that.

Watching Jiang Yu gradually gather worthy mentors and friends around him, the emperor also began paying him frequent attention and feeling rather sorry for him. In the end, even his parents started asking him to look after his "younger brother"...

Li Sui: "..."

What the hell? I've been reborn, but this is like seeing a ghost :)
