I Told You to Be a Stand-In, Not to Rule the World

It's not scary to transmigrate into a body-double with no golden finger. The scary part is when nobody knows you're a lunatic.

Tang Qiye becomes the crown prince's double and is accused by the Fourth Prince from the start of taking liberties with the Fourth Prince's consort.

He has no cheat to rely on, but he still turns the court into his personal stage for wild antics!

An old minister threatens to kill himself.

Tang Qiye pulls out a servant's bronze token and makes up a wild story on the spot.

The result: The old minister breaks into a cold sweat and cries that there's a mole in his household!

The Fourth Prince clings to a jade pendant as evidence.

Tang Qiye takes out a hawthorn pill and passes it off as a deadly poison from the Western Regions.

The result: The Fourth Prince collapses in terror and confesses without even being questioned!

The Fourth Prince's consort pretends to be ill to avoid court.

Right in front of the emperor, Tang Qiye tears her outer robe off in the middle of the hall!

The result: The consort fights back with all her might, proving that a drunk could never have assaulted her!

The emperor takes a deep breath. "This rebellious son... He's not only crazy, he's crazy in a very logical way."

From then on, the officials of the court take the long way around whenever they see the crown prince, terrified he'll drag them into his madness!
