Announcement: Entering VIP on October 12. Ten thousand words will be posted that day. Original title: "Transmigrating to Become a Laid-Back Prince" Updates: 11 p.m. to midnight. If anything comes up, I'll leave a note in the comments of the latest chapter. An alternate-history fantasy, a light novel set in an imagined ancient world What do you do when you go from being a lazy prince to an emperor, with mountains of state affairs to handle? Of course, make the male lead, second male lead, third male lead, and the Nth male lead do the work for you. "Second Brother, there's a severe disaster in Hedong. Someone needs to go provide relief!" "Why come to me? I'm just a prisoner, a skeleton in this world." "If you don't want to, Second Brother, then I'll have to ask Eldest Brother." "Come back!" "Eldest Brother, Beiliang has invaded. Someone needs to lead the army and drive them out." "Hmph!" "If you don't want to, Eldest Brother, I'll have to ask Second Brother. I hear he's read plenty of military treatises too." "Come back!" Blurb 2: Foreign envoy: "Your country is vast and powerful, yet you can't even find one person who can compete with us?" Zhao Jin was accidentally pushed forward. "You?" The foreign envoy sneered. They had heard all about this useless prince. Zhao Jin's face was cold. "Why should you be the ones to set the questions? You can only claim victory if you answer one of mine." "Why don't birds hit the stars when they fly through the sky?" The envoy: "Because birds can't fly as high as the stars." Zhao Jin gave a scornful laugh. "Of course it's because stars twinkle, you fool." Blurb 3: Female lead: "What? Jinjin is your look-alike?" Zhao Jin: "Of course. You just look a little like me, act a little like me, and even have my name in your name. My eldest, second, third, and fourth brothers all like me." Female lead: "You're the substitute! Your whole family are substitutes!" Zhao Jin: "Father! This woman is insulting me." Next up for preorder: "[Dream of the Red Chamber] Lin Hu's Road to a Comeback" Blurb: Lin Hu never imagined he'd transmigrate into Dream of the Red Chamber and become Lin Ruhai's younger half-brother. Luckily, his stepmother was kind, and his elder brother and sister-in-law had no children after years of marriage, so they raised him like their own son. In any case, he never suffered much. Lin Hu originally thought that if he studied hard, stuck close to his elder brother, got a minor official post, married a gentle and refined wife, and made two or three close friends, he could live out his life in peace. Unexpectedly, he made two friends, one the heir to a marquis's estate and the other a prince. Yet of the three, he was the only son born to a concubine, and the richest, so he always had to pick up the tab when they went out to eat. Even more unexpectedly, bandits kidnapped his junior sister. In an era that prized a woman's chastity, her fiance broke off their engagement, and outsiders whispered about her. The brilliant young woman nearly hanged herself with a white silk sash. Lin Hu could only marry his junior sister and take her with him to serve as an official in a remote region. He thought he'd spend the rest of his life there, but one friend became a general who guarded the nation, while another became emperor. With their help, he rose to become a second-rank official, outranking even his brother. What an unexpected life! Preorder: "[Qing Transmigration] A Lazy Person's Plan" Blurb: Wang Tiantian never imagined she'd get such a sweet deal. At just ten years old in this life, she was already living like she was retired. Ping Fei wasn't favored, but because her older sister was Empress Heseri, no one in the harem dared mistreat her. Although she was never officially made a consort, she enjoyed all the privileges of one. Apart from being unable to leave the palace, everything Ping Fei had was what a burned-out office worker could only dream of: no 996 work schedules, no 227 crunch time, no frantic rush to squeeze onto the subway, and no dealing with an idiot boss or difficult clients. She had beautiful clothes, gorgeous jewelry, more money than she could spend, and servants to wait on her. She could happily be a little good-for-nothing. Then she saw calculus and discovered a bizarre story: Kangxi and Leibniz were actually pen pals! Kangxi was great at calculus, too. Word was, Leibniz had taught him personally and even suggested he establish an academy of sciences... Perhaps she hadn't transmigrated just to enjoy a life of leisure. A woman with dreams of a strong nation had awakened... Theme: There are many ways to live a life, and each can be wonderful.
