The First Chancellor

[Mad Emperor Top x Scheming Noble Heir Bottom]

Wen Changqing had just transmigrated to the Dayong Dynasty and planned to lie flat and take life easy. Who would have thought that an imperial decree would come crashing down on him?

The emperor, who was obsessed with cultivating immortality, had granted him in marriage to the notorious Third Prince, Yuan Chong!

As his father, Wen, earnestly urged him to "restore Dayong and play along with the scheme,"

Wen Changqing agreed with tears in his eyes, while screaming inside: Fine! You want to force me out of retirement?

On their wedding day, Yuan Chong sent a human head as the betrothal gift and a coffin to fetch his bride.

On the second day of their marriage, an imperial decree sent them into exile.

Wen Zhongqing immediately pulled out a counterplan!

He wanted military power, money, and, above all, to make those people pay!

Along the way, he recruited soldiers and horses, gathered strategists, and won over generals.

With heavy industry in hand, he fought an economic war. The two powerhouses joined forces, swept across sixteen commanderies, and unified the realm!

Yuan Chong had thought he was marrying a fragile ornament. Now he was stunned.

This wasn't a spouse. This was a living King of Hell who had planned for every contingency!

See how a modern soul who only wanted to laze around turns the court of the Dayong Dynasty, where imperial power is waning and danger lurks everywhere, upside down.

From a pawn forced into marriage, he advances carefully step by step until he becomes Dayong's most powerful statesman!

The scheming noble heir builds the nation from the ground up, rising from an abandoned pawn who wanted to laze around to an unrivaled statesman!

With heaven and earth as his scales, the realm as his prize,

he commands the eight directions and rules the four corners,

reigning over all under heaven!

[Reading Guide]

1. An alternate-history sweet romance, with feel-good wish fulfillment, a golden finger, everyone having one-sided crushes, one-on-one romance, and both leads devoted only to each other.

2. All the poems in the story were adapted or written by me with help from Baidu, so I won't list them individually.

3. I love the strategists and generals of the Three Kingdoms era, but my writing skills are limited. This is a story I wrote for myself when I couldn't find anything to read.

4. Exile to Yanbei + building up Yanbei + recruiting soldiers and horses, including many strategists and generals + counterattacking Changping City.

5. If you like it, feel free to ask me for updates. It motivates me to write more.

6. I hope you enjoy reading. If you don't, you can just delete the novel. Don't force yourself.

7. A babbling author, Chun Chongchong, with an empty head.

Premise: Peace under heaven, calm seas and clear rivers!
