His Highness the Crown Prince Just Wants to Be Deposed

Lu Huai transmigrates into a book as the doomed crown prince in The Son of Heaven Gu.

The crown prince is peerlessly beautiful, but frail and disabled in both legs. First, the emperor strips him of his title, then the male lead, Gu Yan, turns evil, usurps the throne, and has him killed.

Though his legs are fine after he transmigrates into the book, the only way to stay alive is to protect the Lu family's rule and calmly wait to be deposed.

So when the second prince, who resents Gu Yan, secretly starts causing trouble, Lu Huai remembers how the man ends up decapitated.

He sighs. "Second Brother, as long as you don't make an enemy of Gu Yan, you can have the crown prince's position."

Faced with the fifth prince, who is in love with Gu Yan, Lu Huai knows that the other man will eventually take his own life.

He says earnestly, "Fifth Brother, as long as you give up on Gu Yan, you can have the crown prince's position."

Watching the third prince stand up to Gu Yan, Lu Huai fears he won't live long.

He says gravely, "Third Brother, as long as you stay away from Gu Yan, you can have the crown prince's position."

But then the second prince, who planned to rebel, wants to roam the world with Lu Huai. The fifth prince, lovesick and troubled, wants to defend the frontier for him. And the unambitious third prince wants to become his right-hand man.

Even the strange sixth prince clings to Lu Huai and refuses to let go.

Rumors spread through the palace: In ancient times, a ruler lit beacon fires to make his beloved laugh. Today, the crown prince would give up the empire for Gu Yan alone! That pretty face is a menace, bringing nothing but harm!

Later, the supposed menace comes to see him, looking distinctly displeased. Lu Huai is about to explain, but he can't stop coughing, and tears well in the corners of his eyes.

The ruthless, heartless emperor from the novel sees him and gently draws him into his arms.

"The news that Your Highness likes me has spread throughout the palace."

"Since that's the case, I am willing to be Your Highness's one and only consort."

"Your Highness, marry me and clear my name, won't you?"

Later, after the wedding cups are crossed and a night of passion has passed, Lu Huai, whose fake disability has been exposed, has crimson bite marks on his pale lips.

"Tell me, who exactly is clearing whose name? How dare you!"
