Raising My Younger Brothers Right with a System [Qing Transmigration]

Wen Zhongnan read a story about a reborn Qing crown prince before bed. When he woke up, he'd transmigrated into the book as the eldest prince.

Huh? He'd transmigrated into a book?

Had he become Yinsi, the eldest prince who, simply because he was the oldest, had to serve as the crown prince's whetstone? The two would spend more than thirty years locked in a love-hate rivalry, both ending in ruin?

The cannon-fodder eldest prince who, after the crown prince was reborn and learned from his mistakes, would be targeted at every turn and end up worse off than in his previous life...

Wen Zhongnan: "..."

001: "Hello, player. The Self-Preservation System is at your service."

"Please browse the shop: Butterfly Pills, Antidote Pills, Mountain-Bearing Pills, Wind-Speed Pills..."

Wen Zhongnan, who wanted no part in the struggle for the throne, smiled as he looked at the Butterfly Pills and came up with a bold idea. "All right. Let's muddy the waters together."

.

The reborn crown prince, Yunsi, was stunned.

Everything in this life had changed beyond recognition:

Most of his brothers had inexplicably disappeared?! His father had only a few sons in all:

The martial eldest prince; he himself, the crown prince; the scholarly third prince; the practical fourth prince; the easygoing, plump fifth prince; the sixth prince, who died young; and the seventh prince, born with a disability.

With so few sons, his father was so constrained that even the imperial balancing act was hard to pull off.

The Nine Dragons' struggle for the throne? Gone.

A contest between the legitimate heir and the eldest son? Gone too. There was something wrong with this eldest prince in every way! Yunsi could swear he wasn't the rash, impulsive eldest brother from his previous life! Who was he, really?

But... looking at the eldest prince before him, so carefree and composed, smiling warmly as he waited to go to the Imperial Academy with him, Yunsi decided it didn't matter who he was.

What mattered was that he never changed back!

This big brother... was actually pretty nice.

Notes for readers:

The Nine Dragons' struggle for the throne has been changed by the butterfly effect, but the princes affected by it will still be born in a plausible way. Only the reborn crown prince retains memories of his previous life. The protagonist, Wen Zhongnan, has memories of transmigrating. The other princes have nothing unusual.
