The Real Crown Prince Is the Rebel Leader

Everyone praises the Crown Prince for his erudition and refinement, but no one suspects he's a fake who was switched at birth. The real Crown Prince, Wei Jueliu, grew up in a poor and remote village, becoming a crude, ignorant peasant.

The entire court is horrified. That peasant knows nothing of propriety or virtue, and probably can't even read! If he becomes Crown Prince, Chu will be doomed sooner or later!

But what they don't know is that, during his years away from home, Wei Jueliu has worked hard and become Chu's greatest rebel leader. The Vice Minister of Revenue is a mole Wei Jueliu planted years ago, the new top-ranked scholar is a loyal student he trained, and the important border cities have long been under his control.

The ignorant officials continue to protest: "We absolutely cannot let that peasant become Crown Prince!"

Wei Jueliu is touched. "I don't mind becoming emperor directly."

The officials: "...I mean, we can't hand Chu over to you."

Wei Jueliu looks a little aggrieved. "Then I'll just have to take it myself."
