After I Reincarnated as a Cannon Fodder Prince

*Brilliant prince shou x gong who talks himself into love* Yun Shu transmigrated into a political-intrigue novel, becoming a weak prince who was killed off right at the beginning. Above him were seven elder brothers eyeing the throne, and below him were two younger brothers with powerful maternal clans. Thinking about the nine-prince succession struggle that would begin in two months, Yun Shu, with no powerful allies, decided to run away on the spot. He asked to be made a prince with his own fief and went to the bitterly cold Western Province. The Western Province lay on the border. Its people were so poor they could barely keep food in their bellies or clothes on their backs, and they spent every day anxiously worrying that a neighboring country would come to raid them. Everyone mocked Yun Shu for being out of his mind. Why give up being a prince to go eat dirt on the frontier? Only Yun Shu knew that the place was a treasure trove. In the capital, more than ten princes fought tooth and nail over the position of Crown Prince, leaving many dead or injured. The old emperor was exhausted in body and mind, and finally remembered he still had a son at the border. By then, the Western Province was nothing like it used to be. Its city walls and moats were strong, its provisions plentiful, and its cattle and sheep abundant... A messenger from the capital came to summon the Fifteenth Prince back at once to inherit the position of Crown Prince. Yun Shu waved him off. "No! Whoever wants the throne can have it!" When the Grand Tutor, who had come to persuade him, still wouldn't give up, Yun Shu tugged the person beside him closer. "Look, this is my husband. Are you willing to recognize him as Crown Princess?" The elderly Grand Tutor: "...I suppose that's not impossible..." Yun Shu had casually pulled someone in as a shield and blurted out a lie. "What? Where are your principles?" Xiao Jinxing, straightening his clothes in delight: "!!! Am I finally about to rise to power?" [Reading guide] 1. More or less a feel-good story about infrastructure building and conquering the realm Take the Throne, Please! A fake playboy shou who only wants to lie flat but is forced to get serious VS a ruthless, cross-dressing gong who ranks first in combat prowess In the autumn of the twenty-third year of Yuanhe, the Great Liang lost two pillars of the realm in quick succession: General Yuwen Jin and Prince of Anbei Yun Ting. As people mourned their sacrifice for the nation, they couldn't help lamenting that neither the General's household nor the Prince of Anbei's household had an heir to carry on their legacy. The General was a peerless hero, but he had only one daughter. She was beautiful, but she was crippled and mute. The Prince of Anbei did have a son, but he was a playboy who bullied men and women all day long, hated by everyone and everything. Everyone sighed, "A chicken can't compare to a phoenix, and a dog can't be like a tiger." Yun Xuan transmigrated into a book, becoming the heir of the Prince of Anbei, the one who was no better than a dog. He was a disposable character who died in the background description and didn't even deserve a name. Thinking about his miserable fate, Yun Xuan ran without looking back. But he hadn't expected his father's fief to be utterly destitute. After years of campaigning, the promised prince's residence didn't even have its foundations laid, and the people under his rule were so poor they had no clothes to cover themselves or food to eat. The fish who had planned to lie flat and enjoy a rich second-generation lifestyle sat in a thatched hut, took a sip of rough tea, and spat out a mouthful of tea stems. The stool beneath him had three short legs and one long one, and he could barely sit upright. "How am I supposed to lie flat in a life like this?!" To lie flat, he first had to eat his fill, so he got to work cultivating high-yield crops. He also had to dress warmly, so he got textile production going. And in a chaotic age, they needed the means to protect themselves, so he started raising horses and making weapons... Before he knew it, his fief was growing richer and his territory larger. "Your Highness, we accidentally occupied the royal capital." "Your Highness, it's time for you to ascend the throne." When Yun Xuan had first transmigrated, he saw the protagonist waiting outside the hall with him to be summoned. He decided to give the other man a little help and get on his good side early. Yuwen Shuo was the General's daughter, the son of the late deposed Crown Prince, and the tyrant who would one day rule with an iron fist, conquering heaven and earth. By blood, he was also a cousin of the body Yun Xuan now occupied. After hesitating over what to call him, Yun Xuan finally decided not to worry about the matter of gender. He lowered his voice and said: "Friend, I have a plan that can solve your immediate problem and help you leave the treacherous capital." The ice-cold person finally granted him a glance. Yun Xuan immediately leaned closer. "We're well-matched in status, so I'll marry you as my principal consort..." Yuwen Shuo, who had just been reborn: Hah. Just as you'd expect from a playboy. He's got a lot of nerve. Yuwen Shuo at first: Playboy! Pervert! Yuwen Shuo later: Where are you looking? I'm your lawfully wedded wife! Yun Xuan, shocked: Didn't we already divorce?
