The Tang Dynasty Transmigration: The Legitimate Second Son at the Forefront of the Succession Struggle

Li Jingshu died while trying to save someone. His soul transmigrated into Li Tai, Prince of Wei, an ambitious man who had truly landed the "parents' beloved son" role and was just a step away from the throne.

After searching through the information in his mind and Li Tai's memories, he discovered in despair that there was no other path for him to take.

The "second legitimate son" phenomenon that had persisted since the Three Kingdoms and the Northern and Southern Dynasties was still at work...

Li Jingshu sighed. So, in the eyes of the ministers during the Zhenguan era, Li Tai was basically a suspected Yang Guang!

[How could he become the "beloved son of the emperor and empress" and the "thorn in the crown prince's side," while smoothly shaking off suspicion of scheming for the throne and successfully taking power? Now that's a worthy challenge.]

Except this empress looked remarkably like his own mother... Li Jingshu froze on the spot.

Zhenguan: an era that elevated a dynasty to unparalleled heights.

How could those who came later preserve that legacy?
