You Won't Let Me Lie Flat, So Don't Stop Me from Starting a Rebellion

After transmigrating, I became the legitimate son of a military marquis, with a fortune at my disposal. I planned to spend my days in wine and pleasure, living in a drunken haze and enjoying a comfortable life.

But then the emperor arranged a marriage for me, to the most noble legitimate princess in the dynasty, the Crown Prince's own sister. How could I go on living in wine and pleasure?

The pleasure quarters were off limits, so all I could do was indulge in gambling and debauchery.

Just as I thought I could spend the rest of my life as a carefree rich idler, an unexpected change came out of nowhere.

Someone broke into the princess's residence, supposedly entering her bedchamber.

The emperor summoned me and said the wedding would go ahead as planned, ordering me to catch the intruder.

But when I saw the princess, I realized the intruder was gone. She had clearly hidden someone!

Wasn't this just the emperor ordering me to wear a green hat?

Heaven knows, I'd never heard of anything so outrageous in my life.

I thought I couldn't possibly get any unluckier, but that was only the beginning.

After that, I was gravely wounded, framed, and stripped of my family estate. In just a few days, I fell from a high and mighty young marquis to the very bottom.

All I wanted was to lie flat and happily spend my life in wine and pleasure.

But you wouldn't let me. You schemed against me and insisted on putting me to death.

Fine. You brought this on yourselves!

Ten years later, when I saw the emperor, who had once stood high above me, I said just one thing.

"Your Majesty, you may rise."
