I Resolve to Become the Mad King of Great Wei and Rebel

After Zhou Xuan transmigrates to the Great Wei dynasty, he discovers that he has become the infamous Mad Prince from history. His brothers want to kill him, and though he wants to become crown prince, everyone mocks him as the Mad Prince.

With no other choice, Zhou Xuan decides to rebel. He buys fields and land, but people take him for a fool and sell him their property. He mines coal and iron, but the emperor simply grants him a mine and tells him to stop searching everywhere. He improves firearms, but people laugh at him, treating them like toys. He trains his own army, but people mock his wild ambition, and the emperor even gives him a group of men to play house with.

Seeing that his madness seems to have improved, the emperor sends him off to his fiefdom. But just after he arrives, the emperor hears that someone has rebelled. The culprit is none other than his mad son.

The emperor thinks Zhou Xuan has gone mad again and treats it as a joke. But then Zhou Xuan's army appears at the city gates. As the emperor calls in more troops, Zhou Xuan shouts, "Imperial Father, your son is having one of his episodes! Hurry and open the gates so I can come in."
