686 ChAfter My Brothers Were Eliminated, I Was Forced to Ascend the Throne
兄弟们被淘汰后，我被迫登基了
In his fourteenth year after transmigrating, Yan Cheng finally realized he was a cannon fodder prince in a sequel to a transmigration novel.
Born with a silver spoon, yet without the destiny to use it.
As the younger of twin brothers, he was abandoned at birth by his imperial concubine mother, who was solely focused on seizing the throne.
He was lucky to survive, but was sickly due to early poisoning.
In his seventeenth year, his adoptive father plotted rebellion, leading to his entire family being executed.
The cannon fodder prince only appeared once in the entire original novel, when the sequel's protagonist brought down the biggest imperial throne competitor.
The protagonist presented a series of charges against the competitor and his mother, including evidence that his mother had swapped babies (stolen a dragon and changed it for a phoenix).
Only then did the world learn that there was an imperial prince who had never been officially registered in the imperial genealogy.
Moreover, this prince's death was extremely dishonorable.
The emperor, who had personally ordered his own son's beheading, felt embarrassed while also ordering the cannon fodder prince to be enfeoffed as Prince Yong and buried in the imperial mausoleum.
By the time Yan Cheng awakened to the original book's plot, he had already been acknowledged by his birth family, becoming the Eighth Prince of Great Xia.
There was no way for him to escape.
Alright then!
Since he couldn't run, he would try his best to help himself and those he cared about avoid the plot's fatal events!
It's better to live shamefully than to die honorably!
Initially, Yan Cheng only wanted to live.
Later, he discovered that some things weren't as he wished them to be.
When Yan Cheng was forcibly pushed onto the coveted throne by a host of loyal officials who propelled him forward, listening to endless calls of "Your Majesty!" and staring at countless memorials that couldn't be finished, he looked up and let out a long cry:
This is not the life I wanted at all!
