I Only Want to Take Up My Fief, but They Keep Forcing Me to Have More Children, More Blessings

[Historical Power Fantasy] [Scheming Protagonist] [Plenty of Laughs] [You Know What We Mean]

Zhou Yan was born into the Great Sheng dynasty and has spent eighteen years there. His mother died young, his maternal family was demoted, and he was born with blocked meridians. Everyone at court knows him as a useless prince.

He doesn't fight for the throne or form a faction. He only wants to leave the capital and head to his fiefdom to live as a carefree prince.

But on the eve of his departure, someone lures him into Zhaohua Palace. Not only is abortion powder found on him, he's also accused on the spot of plotting to kill the unborn child of Consort Rong!

At this dead end, the Ninefold Heavenly Tree that had lain dormant in his mind for eighteen years finally awakens.

The ancient tree has nine main branches, each corresponding to one of nine paths of cultivation: literature, martial arts, medicine, alchemy, artifacts, formations, military affairs, commerce, and destiny. As long as he accomplishes something significant in any one path, the corresponding branch will bear a Dao Fruit!

But by the time he comes to his senses, the Marquis of Zhenbei's household, the Imperial Guards, the Northern Frontier cavalry, the Jiangnan grain merchants, and countless commoners have all rallied behind him.

The Emperor: "Sixth Son, you have to take this throne whether you want it or not!"

Zhou Yan: "Father, I really only want to be a carefree prince."

The entire court: "Your Highness, do you even believe that yourself?"
