Weren't You Supposed to Be the Heir's Substitute? Why Have You Ascended the Throne?

On the night of the princess's wedding, the groom brought Su Chen in as a stand-in to take his place in the bridal chamber.

Once the plan was complete, he intended to kill Su Chen to silence him. But he never imagined the body Su Chen occupied belonged to a ruthless man who had transmigrated into this world!

On their wedding night, the stand-in killed the real groom, took his place, and firmly secured his identity as the princess's husband.

The noble beauty beside me is clever and inscrutable, and we keep each other in check.

As five princes fight for the throne and power at court, I move unseen beneath the surface.

I was only supposed to be a scapegoat trying to stay alive.

But my abilities won't let me keep a low profile!

Conceal my identity, eliminate rival factions, build my power... I'm the talk of the martial world.

Wait, Your Majesty, don't rush! Who said I was going to rebel?
