The Crown Prince’s Perilous Profession

[The wild and suspicious Crown Prince Rong Yuan X the calculating and ambitious Lin Lan]

Being a crown prince is a high-risk job. The ancients certainly weren't lying!

From ancient times to the present, they say crown princes never have any say in their own lives and are envied at every turn.

My imperial father is inscrutable and utterly cold.

The empress's seat is vacant, and my mother, the Imperial Noble Consort, is a thorn in the side of the entire harem.

My brothers and sisters are eyeing my position, and even my maternal relatives are hoping to earn credit by backing the future emperor.

I've also heard that a crown prince's bedmate is destined never to be the one he loves.

Now even my imperial father has an illegitimate son from who knows where. He's practically pointing a finger at me and saying I'm unworthy of my position, convinced I'll bring about my own downfall. He even wants to send my younger sister away for a political marriage.

Even the people who approach me are all sorts of reborn people, claiming I'm a villain and that they need to win me over with warmth so I'll serve the person chosen by fate.

It's so hard being me!

All I have is brute strength. I like getting into fights and arguing with people. What's wrong with that?

Everyone watched the burly Crown Prince make fake crying noises while wiping away nonexistent tears with a bright yellow handkerchief embroidered with a golden dragon. At the same time, he gestured for his men to drag a fainted noble family's illegitimate daughter, who had deliberately thrown herself at him, into the dungeon.

The Crown Prince is weak, pitiful, and helpless?

Everyone who witnessed it: "Pfft!"

Do you really believe that?

We'd be thanking our lucky stars if you stopped tormenting us!

Note:

1. The male lead has the traits of a tyrant and a melodramatic chuuni. In short, he's not a normal person.

2. The novel is written in third person.

3. It's a fictional setting, and the male lead transmigrates here.
