Scheming for the Throne: I Begin on My Wedding Night, When the Ninth Princess Finds Me Left for Dead

Li Xuan Ye was an ordinary wage earner, but one day he transmigrated to an alternate dynasty. From the start, the princess forced herself on him, and then it was announced that his family would soon be executed and exiled! The original owner of his body was the son of Jiangnan's richest man. Rather than seize his bright future, he had insisted on rejecting a marriage proposal just to chase after his unattainable first love. Li Xuan Ye resolved to turn things around. Reject the princess? He went straight to the emperor and won another marriage decree. A childhood sweetheart who was a lovesick doormat? No way. He kicked her out for coveting his family's fortune. Defy the imperial decree to provide disaster relief? He would save the people, earn an official post, and marry the princess. He had to do the job properly. Disaster relief brought political struggles at court, and as Li Xuan Ye rose step by step, he was inevitably swept into the struggle for the throne.
