Is the Throne the Only Option for Me?

In the blink of an eye, transmigration happened. The good news: Rong Juan was reborn into a prestigious, high-ranking household. The bad news: This is a melodramatic family hell-bent on raising him to be a useless wastrel. The family’s standards for ruining Rong Juan include: gluttony and hedonism, forcibly abducting common women, riding horses recklessly through the streets to trample pedestrians… Rong Juan: “How is that enough?” His cheap older brother is secretly harboring retainers? Snatch them all up to be male favorites—after all, he’s naturally rebellious and prefers men. The retainers: “…” His treacherous official of a father has a mortal political enemy? Then he absolutely must kowtow to the man right in the middle of the street! The next day, news that the Prime Minister’s son intends to acknowledge the terrifying Chief Superintendent—the man who makes the entire capital tremble—as his godfather shocks the court and the commonalty alike. The Chief Superintendent: “??” There is political strife in the court and turmoil at the borders. The old Emperor is senile and paranoid, hating witchcraft above all else in his life. Rong Juan: “System, shouldn’t we put on a show for them?” — Afflicted with a rare poison and destined not to live past twenty-seven, Rong Juan’s goal is to eat until he sleeps and sleep until he eats, admire all the beauties in the world, and enjoy a life as smooth as silk. His old slacker of a System is dedicated to reading novels, admiring beauties, and believing in the sentiment that ‘everyone is drunk while I alone am sober.’ Unknowingly, the backyard has become overrun with retainers, his godfather’s power has grown immense, and the old Emperor’s sons have been wiped out. Until one day: They stand collectively at his door, forcibly shaking Rong Juan awake from his slumber: “Wake up, it’s time for you to ascend the throne.” Reading Guide: 1) Slacker, black-hearted beauty Uke vs. Ruthless, hyper-disciplined Seme. 2) The setting is semi-based on the Tang Dynasty but is fictional; there will be discrepancies. 3) The tone is lighthearted and goofy; this is not a serious political intrigue novel.
