I’ve United the Four Seas, and You Want Me to Be Crown Prince?

Chu Dingqian transmigrated to the ancient land of Shenzhou and became the Crown Prince of Great Chu. For five diligent years, he governed as regent, assisted the emperor, and helped him pacify all corners of the realm. But before their great undertaking was complete, the emperor listened to alchemists pursuing immortality and even tried to depose him over a witchcraft scandal!

After losing power overnight, Chu Dingqian watched coldly as the petty men around him gloated. His Grand Tutor betrayed him, the Chancellor wanted to break off an engagement, and the officials impeached him... Chu Dingqian simply threw in the towel. Enfeoffed as the Prince of Han, he led his troops into Lingnan. He paid no heed to the mockery. What others saw as a sweltering, barren wasteland looked to him like land flowing with milk and honey.

Chu Dingqian encouraged farming and sericulture, built steelworks, revitalized industry, and forged sturdy ships and powerful cannons to open trade with every shore! He sent the foreign barbarians fleeing in terror, surrendering at the first sight of his forces. Once he had been crowned emperor, he resolutely marched north to purge the court and reclaim everything that was his. Waiting for him were remorseful officials and a foolish emperor on his knees, begging through tears for forgiveness.
