I Only Wanted My Fief, but My Royal Brother Forced Me to Rebel

About the story

Lu Yuan, a man from modern times, transmigrates into the role of the Ninth Prince of Great Yong. As the legitimate son of the late empress, he ought to be one of the strongest contenders for the throne. Yet he has no interest in power and only wants to leave the capital for a carefree life on his fief. The Second Prince, Lu Cheng, fears that Lu Yuan will threaten his position as heir and joins forces with Noble Consort Shen and the Shen faction to repeatedly frame him. The more Lu Yuan tries to give way, the harder they press. To protect himself and those close to him, he must conceal his strengths, strike back and enter the struggle for succession. Using modern knowledge, he improves technologies including horseshoes, stirrups, saddles, cement and refined salt, gradually winning the emperor’s attention.
