The Empress Called Off Our Engagement, So I Turned Around and Claimed the Throne in the Enemy Kingdom!

Qin Yu transmigrates to the Great Li Dynasty. Entrusted by the late emperor to care for the young heir, he rises through the ranks to become the highest-ranking civil official, helping the empress ascend the throne and secure her rule.

But who could have guessed that once her throne was secure, the empress would join forces with her ministers to discard him like a worn-out tool, using Qin Yu as a bargaining chip to arrange a marriage with an enemy nation, forcing him to “marry” an incredibly ugly princess...

You think you can play me? I’m done. I quit!

The enemy princess: Hurry! Whatever Qin Yu wants, give it to him!

The Western Regions’ Holy Maiden: I’ve heard that no one under heaven can match your talent, young master. Would you be willing to talk by candlelight?

Qin Yu only wanted to quietly work on infrastructure in the mountains. Who knew he’d end up on the road to ascending the throne?
