The Regent's Iron Return

Chu Ning's soul transmigrates to the eighteenth prince of the Great Chu who was stranded among commoners. After being brought back to the imperial household, he becomes a disposable scapegoat for the machinations of other princes. In desperation, he awakens the All-Under-Heaven Power System and uses extraordinary intelligence to overturn his fate. He gains deep appreciation from the emperor, is enfeoffed as a prince and appointed general. He plans strategically, counters numerous princes, cunningly seizes territories and wealth, accumulates resources and hoards grain to build influence, and acts decisively in warfare. He tears apart the crown prince's schemes, stands firm against enemy envoys, recruits fierce generals, builds personal armies, and gains the devoted love of beautiful women. The once-destitute prince sheds his fate of being a sacrificial victim and, with iron-fisted tactics, wages border campaigns, crushes enemy nations, and rises to establish an unparalleled hegemony over the realm.
