In his past life, Qu Dubian relied on acting like a scheming, pitiful "green tea" to win fan votes and debut as an idol. After transmigrating, he becomes a young prince in the Great Zhou Dynasty, whose mother passed away early.
Not only does he have just 3 days left to live, but he also binds with a [Disease Simulator] to extend his lifespan.
There are three methods to increase his lifespan:
1. Daily martial arts training check-in, increases lifespan by one day.
2. Experience a disease, write a thesis and submit it to the system to help the system archive and upgrade, increases lifespan by three months.
3. Befriend someone and raise their favorability to sixty, increases lifespan by one year.
Qu Dubian understands one thing deeply: when it comes to gaining favor, timely help in need is better than adding icing on the cake.
A little eunuch freezing to death? Save him!
His cheap emperor father, the neglected young master of the Minister's household, the lonely and bored imperial concubines in the rear palace, the sole heir of a marquis' estate, a hostage prince from an enemy nation...
Qu Dubian transforms into a filial (?) son / bosom friend / chat companion / playmate / confidant, watching his slowly increasing lifespan with immense satisfaction.
The [Disease Simulator] is also a divine tool for avoiding the terrifying waves of the succession struggle!
To completely withdraw from the battle for the throne, Qu Dubian doesn't hesitate to take a reckless risk on the battlefield, bringing back his elder sister, the Princess who was sent for a political marriage. Then, he simulates himself into a useless cripple—his martial arts abolished and his eyes blinded.
Now he can happily lie back on this military merit that can protect him for a lifetime and live out his days in peace and stability.
This move is a huge win!
However—
The East Depot's Chief Eunuch, his gaze sinister: "This servant's life was saved by Your Highness. Investigate for me, who exactly struck on the battlefield!"
The newly appointed Top Scholar, a sickly pallor on his face: "I have schemed my whole life, only for a wise lord in my heart. Since that lord is now in darkness, I do not wish to accept an official post."
The now Northern Garrison General, the young Marquis: "The imperial power struggle has come to this, why does Your Highness still harbor kindness?"
His adoptive mother who once avoided worldly affairs: "My child has suffered such a calamity. If I, as his mother, remain indifferent any longer, how can I call myself a mother?!"
The imperial concubines gather in the Cining Palace, their sorrowful red-rimmed eyes leaving the Emperor unable to voice his bitterness.
Suddenly, all the princes are living in fear, schemes surge in the capital, and people are filled with anxiety.
Qu Dubian, who only wants to live peacefully: "..."
H-Help me!!
#They All Want Me to Ascend the Throne, But I Just Want to Live a Stable Life:(#
"The cold geese fly beyond the frontier, the long song of Qu Dubian."
