The Deposed Crown Prince Was Reborn as a Drama Queen

The Discarded Crown Prince Is Reborn as a Troublemaker [Complete] [Not a political intrigue novel] Blurb: If You Yu Sui had died for good, he would have been an ordinary failed contender for the throne in the history books, lying in a little grave beneath the terrible posthumous title his father had given him, while future generations gossiped about him. But he was reborn! And he kept being reborn. In his first life, his attempt to seize power failed, and his own father sentenced him to death. His posthumous title was Crown Prince Li. In his second life, he worked diligently and trod carefully, only to die of illness in the end. In his third life, he kept a low profile and gathered talented people around him, only to be killed by his third younger brother's troops. They didn't even leave him with an intact corpse. In his fifteenth life, he was careful and only wanted to stay alive, but was sent to calm the refugees and hacked to death in the end. In his sixteenth life, the discarded crown prince opened his eyes and thought: I'm tired. Whoever makes me unhappy, I'll make even more miserable. To hell with treating the worthy with respect and acting gentle and virtuous. So the first thing You Yu Sui did after opening his eyes was buy himself the most expensive golden-thread nanmu coffin, then proceed to court death with gusto. He cursed the emperor's favorite consort, punished his young brother, beat up officials, and repeatedly tested the emperor's limits. As he watched the weeping harem and court, You Yu Sui sat in his sedan chair, holding a long-stemmed pipe, and smiled. “A person should do things that live up to his posthumous title.” You Yu Sui thought that after being so argumentative and obnoxious, and pushing his luck at every turn, his father would immediately strip him of his title and give him a cup of poisoned wine. Instead, he became his father's favorite son. You Yu Sui: My father might be a little unwell. The officials, who still hadn't gotten over the crown prince's former gentle and virtuous image: The crown prince has probably gone mad. The posthumous title Li: Killing the innocent is called Li; cruelty toward one's own family is called Li; stubbornness and mercilessness are called Li; supporting evil and rejecting virtue is called Li; and being a malicious gossip who brings disaster is called Li. You Yu Sui is the bottom, Huo Xi Ling the top. No switching, no breaking them up.
