Zheng Yun transmigrated into the Song dynasty as a prince with a different surname, and found himself in hell mode from the start.
Historically, few princes with a different surname met a good end. He was probably not long for this world.
Fortunately, he had grown up with Emperor Renzong, which at least secured his life.
The two AI Systems that came with his transmigration seemed like golden fingers, but aside from looking up all kinds of random information, they were completely useless.
The big boss behind the scenes was secretly making trouble: framing Bao Zheng, murdering Empress Guo, and plotting to overthrow the Song dynasty.
The emperor sent him to Chenzhou on official business. He had barely left the capital when a handsome man in white mistook him for Bao Zheng and kidnapped him.
When Bai Yutang realized he'd taken the wrong person, he put his cold sword directly to Zheng Yun's throat.
Zheng Yun's heart sank. This time, he was probably done for.
Given the choice between coming clean and bluffing his way through, he decisively chose the latter.
Survival plan activated: pretend to be Bao Zheng's nephew and win Bai Yutang over.
After a night of passion...
Bai Yutang held his sword to Zheng Yun. "Say that again. What's your name?"
Zheng Yun remained unfazed. "Bao Mian. Bao as in steamed bun, Mian as in diligent."
Bai Yutang sneered. "But I distinctly heard someone call you Yun'er just now."
Zheng Yun refused to admit anything. "You must have misheard."
Bai Yutang flew into a rage. "You liar!"
A glint of cunning flashed in Zheng Yun's eyes. "I only wanted to steal your heart."
Bai Yutang's heart skipped a beat at that. The tip of his sword lowered despite himself, though his words remained as stubborn as ever. "You're all talk!"
Zheng Yun chuckled. "My mouth isn't the only thing that's hard."
[Five years later]
"Smack!" The storyteller struck his block, his face animated. "Back then, Zhou Shizong, Emperor Taizu, and Zheng En swore brotherhood before the Loess Slope, closer than blood! Zheng En was made Prince of Beiping, and the emperor himself decreed that the title would be inherited forever."
Bai Yutang stopped when he heard the words "Prince of Beiping."
"The title has passed down to the third generation. The current Prince of Beiping is surnamed Zheng, and his given name is Yun."
Hearing the name of the one he loved, Bai Yutang's lips curved into a tender smile.
The storyteller grew more and more animated. "This Prince Zheng Yun is remarkable! He reclaimed the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, dealt a crushing blow to Li Yuanhao, brought peace to the northwest, put down the Prince of Xiang's rebellion, and vanquished demons. He's the greatest wise prince of all time!"
Zheng Yun was quite modest. He waved a hand and said, "That's nothing. The greatest honor of my transmigration to the Song dynasty was meeting Bai Yutang."
Bai Yutang heard this, and his smile deepened.
[Reader's note] The seme appears fairly early, but the leads don't officially meet until relatively late.
Bai Yutang complained with a hint of grievance. "Sob, sob, why couldn't I meet my baby right from the start?"
Onlookers teased him. "Please read the title again."
Bai Yutang sighed helplessly. "Being a prince is hard..."
[Notes]
A scheming, sly uke x a cold, proud seme
A loosely fictionalized Song dynasty, with elementary-school-level political scheming. No historical research was done (really, the author is just dumb and couldn't make sense of the history, so please go easy on me~).
This novel will go premium on January 11, 2026. Chapters 24-29 will be the discounted chapters, so if you've already read them, please don't buy them again.
[Update schedule]
Before going premium, updates follow the rankings. After it goes premium, updates will be daily. The whole story is already written, so it definitely won't be abandoned.
**[Coming Soon] The Prince and the Detective
A forensic pathologist uke who sees through tricks at a glance x a prince seme who clears every obstacle for his beloved
In his previous life, Qiu Zhi was a forensic pathologist and top student. In this life, he became the youngest second-place palace graduate in the Great Wei dynasty.
The forensic pathologist feels a little guilty: "As a science student, my writing is mediocre. I only came second in the country thanks to my looks."
His lover is the emperor's favorite prince, and his brother-in-law is the current emperor.
The first rule of officialdom: having connections in the court makes everything easier. Got it.
Qiu Zhi can choose any official post in the Great Wei dynasty.
So after wreaking havoc among the people of the capital and Wanping, Qiu Zhi and Zhu Yongxian, the "reaper husbands," decide to head south to Yunzhou, so both the north and south can share the trouble equally.
The crime-solving forensic pathologist takes his whole family, including his prince seme, to his new post.
The people of Yunzhou are still enjoying their peaceful lives, completely unaware that the local death rate is about to soar.
Perfect locked rooms, alibis, impossible crimes... All are waiting for the "forensic science whiz" and the "devoted prince" to solve them together.

Theme: Peace throughout the land, clear skies and calm seas, and a stable, prosperous life
Alas, what the prince Xiao Zheng did was also aggrieved. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old. He felt that everything he did was not smooth and he was kidnapped by morality 😭 😭
Highlight at the end? Blind student, you found Hua Dian [sprinkle flowers]
Ah? This doesn't silence anyone, it's unreasonable, it reveals that the emperor's rule is unstable. . . And the protagonist's prince is a bit frustrated. Why does it feel like someone can step on him?
This article is very strange. The emperor does not rule and his ministers do not obey. There is no expression of the majesty of the imperial power. It's not that I like status and class, but in ancient times this was the minimum. Every character does not look like the one in history or in the interpretation. The characterization is distorted.
... Sigh, Prince Xiao Zheng is really not easy to do. People like Bao Zheng have no respect for him. They want to take advantage of him, but they are forced to do so and do not trust him. Xiao Zheng retains goodwill towards everyone and hopes that everyone will be better, but the result is that he is wronged. No wonder his health has not been good, and now Lao Gong is not emotionally available anymore. The two of them have not talked about it yet. I feel really wronged for Xiao Zheng 😭 😭 Looks like I have to save it until Xiao Zheng feels proud and proud before reading it again
Don't torture our little Zheng 😭 😭 😭
What the hell? Why did the unofficial history suddenly become weird again?
I felt aggrieved when I saw it, but when I thought about it carefully, it was very realistic.
[Let me be healthy] Hahaha Xiao Zheng is really worthy of the name "This prince is not easy to be"
The Fifth Master was really beaten to death by Xiao Zheng (yes, I couldn't help but continue watching), but I feel that Bao Zheng's side and our Xiao Zheng have become closer. Now I feel that our Xiao Zheng is their "Sword of Shang Fang", and I feel like the kind of leader in charge who has a miserable life 🙏 🙏 🙏
