Let Go, I Only Want to Cultivate Immortality

The Third Prince, Chu Ci, is known throughout the capital as a complete oddball. He has no interest in studying or politics, and his words and deeds are bizarre to the extreme. Recently, he seems to have lost his mind and keeps insisting that he’ll cultivate immortality. For this, he commandeers the imperial prison, blows up the imperial kitchens, strips every plant from the imperial garden, and even keeps a strange snow fox in the imperial harem. People can’t help sighing over how such a fine princely status has gone to waste on this hopeless mess. Ever since Chu Ci received a jade pendant from an immortal, things started developing in utterly inexplicable ways. His underlings join his faction of their own accord, and more and more officials at court become his supporters. His cultivation speed is off the charts, and countless people submit to his charisma. Everyone joins forces to push him onto the throne, even clearing away the obstacles in his path for him. In truth, Chu Ci is simply cultivating immortality at his leisure and, along the way, falling in love with Bai Yuzhuo, a genius cultivator who has turned into a fox. He opens his eyes one day to find himself inexplicably dressed in imperial robes, receiving the homage of all his officials. Chu Ci looks utterly bewildered: ... Why do I feel like we’re all on different wavelengths? Let go of me! I want to cultivate immortality! I don’t want to be emperor. ...Well, this is actually pretty nice. Reading guide: 1. Bai Yuzhuo x Chu Ci. Main character on the receiving end, happy ending. Bai Yuzhuo is human, not a demon. 2. A blend of cultivation and palace drama, with an original setting. Cultivation is secondary; the focus is the palace! The protagonist starts out as a prince! There’s not much scheming for power. It’s a silly comedy about everyone imagining things and pushing Chu Ci onto the throne. 3. Please don’t scrutinize any details. The writing isn’t great, so please bear with me!
