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?

Ministers Begging Me to Ascend the Throne

In Zhao Yang Palace, Empress Xie listened to her brother Xie Shi's words, and her exquisitely made-up face turned very unpleasant.


Xie Shi said dejectedly, "Yes, from start to finish I was just a decoy, the only one kept in the dark."


More than half a year ago, when the Emperor transferred him to quell the rebellion in Yangzhou, he was very excited, thinking that his chance to make a name for himself had finally arrived. He decided that this time he must perform well and show his father and brothers his capabilities, and even more so, to bring glory to his sister.


In the Duke Zhen Country Mansion, Xie Shi, although a legitimate son and the youngest, should have been doted upon, but this was not the case. His several elder brothers, whether legitimate or illegitimate, were all exceptionally talented, far more outstanding than him. Among the younger generation of the Xie family, Xie Shi's aptitude could be described as mediocre, sometimes even as a fool.
