Zhou Liangliang

After being reincarnated as the youngest son of Emperor Wu of Zhou, Zhao Yao was not favored much. In order to survive the bloody power struggle for the throne, he had to bide his time. Finally, he grew up and was granted a title of nobility, only to be exiled to the distant region of Lingnan by his dear father.

It was said that Lingnan was incredibly poor, but Zhao Yao was not afraid. He focused on infrastructure and production. Under Zhao Yao's management, Lingnan transformed from a place of exile into a prosperous land.

Just when Zhao Yao was happily living his carefree life in Lingnan, the ministers traveled a thousand miles to beg him to ascend the throne.

Zhao Yao was baffled. Had these ministers lost their minds?

He said again, "If it weren't for our eldest sister, you wouldn't be the Empress, and I wouldn't be the Duke Zhen."


Empress Xie couldn't accept that her position as Empress was gained through Xie Wan.


"You've always thought that as the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, your status is nobler than our eldest sister's. You feel wronged to be the Empress as a mere second wife, and even more wronged that your son is suppressed by the Crown Prince." Duke Zhen was clear about what his younger sister was thinking, "You've consistently thought I support the Crown Prince instead of your son because I don't care about you as my little sister."


Duke Zhen did not expect Empress Xie to be so thoughtless, which made him angry.


"Alright, have you ever considered what the consequences would be if I supported your son instead of the Crown Prince?"


"What consequences?" Empress Xie said dismissively, "My son is legitimate."
