Li Yi transmigrated into a book, becoming the lazy tenth prince in a political intrigue novel about nine princes fighting for the throne.
His father doted on him, his mother loved him, and his nine older brothers cooked for him. Li Yi rolled over on his golden nanmu chaise longue and let out a contented sigh. This was the life!
He stayed away from politics and worked hard to save money, waiting for the day he came of age and could return to his fief to eat, drink, and live lazily for the rest of his life.
But on the day of his coming-of-age ceremony, his father was attacked and Li Yi was falsely accused and thrown in jail. His beloved crown prince brother, who had always protected him, gripped his chin and said, "You're a descendant of the previous dynasty."
As it turned out, the emperor and his brothers had always kept him as a bargaining chip to control the old dynasty's forces. Now that those forces had been wiped out, he was no longer useful.
"Stay with me, and I'll make sure you live," his crown prince brother murmured in his ear.
He bit the man hard, then was knocked unconscious.
When he woke up, he was in the imperial palace.
His emperor father said to him, "Little Ten, become my consort, and I'll protect you."
Li Yi: ...I'm done for, Dad.
Then the eldest prince and the second prince came along. What a coincidence, every single one of them wanted to "protect" him... Finally, on the way to being taken to see his eighth brother, he found a chance to jump off a cliff.
As his soul drifted away, he finally realized: This was a fake-incest reverse harem novel!
The political intrigue was just a cover!
No wonder his father and brothers were all strong and handsome, while he was frail and pretty, with a delicate face and a tendency to cry at the drop of a hat. Damn it!!!
Li Yi transmigrated again.
This time, he would be Niohuru Yi. He would make Great Qi great again!
If men couldn't be relied on, then this time, he would become emperor himself. He'd make his fake father and fake brothers kneel before him and bark! Bark! Bark!
