Pei Ping'an is transported to an age of chaos among nine kingdoms, where he becomes the crown prince of the weakest one. Eight kingdoms threaten from outside, while within its borders, rebel princes, a succession struggle among the royal heirs, powerful clans fighting for influence, and bands of refugees and bandits throw the country into turmoil... And the emperor wants to strip him of his position as crown prince.
Pei Ping'an: “...” What a disastrous start!
The emperor sends him to provide disaster relief, expecting him to die amid the refugee unrest.
Instead, Pei Ping'an takes the opportunity to recruit refugees, secretly form an army, organize production, and stockpile grain, building up his strength under the radar.
When a fief rises in rebellion and the rebel prince prepares to march on the capital...
An army of refugees appears out of nowhere, surrounds the fief, kills the rebel prince, and takes control.
When the royal heirs fight for the throne and the powerful clans stir up trouble...
That same refugee army appears out of nowhere, surrounds the capital, launches a rebellion, and installs a new emperor.
As loyal ministers and righteous men weep over the refugee army's uprising and the country's impending collapse, ready to give their lives for their nation,
Pei Ping'an is carried by the refugee army to the throne.
Pei Ping'an: “Bad news: The refugee army has entered the capital, and the dynasty has changed.”
“Good news: I'm the leader of the refugee army, and the new imperial house is still surnamed Pei.”
The emperor, the powerful clans, and the other princes: “...” That's a terrible good news!
After ascending the throne, Emperor Qin Shengwu, Pei Ping'an, launches sweeping reforms: revising the land system, building infrastructure, establishing the imperial examinations, taking on the powerful clans, recovering the lost lands in the north, and unifying the nine kingdoms... He ushers in the golden age of Shengwu!

Please add my new novel, The Real Crown Prince Is the Head of the Rebels, to your to-read list:
Everyone praises the crown prince for his erudition and refinement, never suspecting that he's a fake who was switched at birth. The real crown prince, Wei Jue, grew up in a remote backwater and became a crude, ignorant peasant.
The court officials are horrified. That peasant doesn't know the first thing about proper conduct or virtue. He probably can't even read! If he becomes crown prince, Chu will be doomed!
But they don't know that, during his years away from home, Wei Jue worked hard and became the biggest rebel leader in Chu. The Vice Minister of Revenue is a mole Wei Jue planted years ago, and the top scholar of the latest imperial examinations is a loyal student he trained... The important border cities have long been under Wei Jue's control.
The clueless court officials keep protesting: “That peasant absolutely cannot become crown prince!”
Wei Jue is touched. “I don't mind becoming emperor instead.”
The court officials: “... We mean we can't hand Chu over to you.”
Wei Jue looks a little hurt. “Then I'll just have to take it myself.”
