Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Third Prince’s undeniable royal status and Lin Yue’s influential position in the martial arts realm held significant weight. Su Bin effortlessly facilitated their connection with the martial arts world’s leader.

Assuming all went smoothly, the leader and renowned martial artists would rally behind the Third Prince’s bid for the throne.

In gratitude for Su Bin’s pivotal role, the Third Prince had already envisioned conferring upon him the position of Prime Minister once he ascended to the throne.

Given the sensitive nature of their visit, the Third Prince and Lin Yue took precautions to conceal their identity, even avoiding daylight and resorting to disguises to ensure their mission remained discreet. Consequently, Su Ning remained oblivious to their presence.

This deliberate secrecy brought relief to Qin Zhenzhen, who was determined to prevent any interaction between Su Ning and the Third Prince, aware of the potential allure he held for her.

Due to the Third Prince’s life experiences, he exuded a level of maturity uncommon for someone of his age. Despite this maturity, his inherent charm, accentuated by a ‘male lead halo,’ made him irresistible to countless admirers.

Recognizing the potential risk, Su Bin understood the need to keep Su Ning and the Third Prince apart. After bidding them farewell, he returned to his room only to find his still-awake wife.

Playfully, Su Bin remarked, “Wife, can’t sleep without me, huh?”

Qin Zhenzhen shot him a glare. “Your narcissism is reaching new heights.”

“You know why I can’t sleep.”

“Spill it. What did they discuss with you?”

Su Bin proceeded to share every detail of their conversation, putting Qin Zhenzhen’s concerns to rest. She had feared that Lin Yue might propose a marriage alliance between the Third Prince and Su Ning, seeking Su Bin’s assistance, but such worries were now alleviated.

In any case, an emperor had the privilege of having multiple consorts. Apart from the empress, there were the four noble consorts and an array of beauties below them.

At this juncture, the Third Prince had not yet encountered the transmigration female protagonist from the modern world. He harbored no intention of leading a solitary life.

Should Su Ning confront the female lead in the future, it would undoubtedly be a challenging ordeal for her.

Observing Qin Zhenzhen’s uplifted spirits, Su Bin found himself slightly perplexed.

“Wife, I sensed some concern earlier, but now it seems to have dissipated. Can you enlighten me on what troubled you?”

“I was worried about how you would handle the three factions.”

Su Bin grinned and reassured her, “Wife, fret not. If I dare to undertake this, I am fully capable of managing it.”

“Moreover, my loyalty to them is not as steadfast as they believe.”

“I’ve already laid out the terms. The earnings are divided into four shares—two substantial portions and two minor ones. The Third Prince and I each claim a substantial share, while the Public House and the Empress Dowager receive smaller portions.”

Qin Zhenzhen chuckled. “Naturally!”

They also deemed it prudent to keep an exit strategy. Throughout history, emperors, after ascending the throne, often severed ties with those who had served them well. There were numerous instances of loyal officials meeting untimely ends.

Despite the portrayal in the book suggesting the Third Prince was not of that disposition, it only chronicled his ascent to the throne and marriage to the empress. The declaration of a lifelong commitment to the empress was no guarantee of future constancy.

Characters in the narrative were not static entities.

For instance, Su Bin had successfully transformed from a major antagonist into a benevolent official dedicated to serving the people.

While Su Ning had not yet developed romantic feelings for the Third Prince, Qin Zhenzhen remained somewhat uneasy about the unfolding storyline.

Despite having altered the subplot in the book, it appeared that even the main plot was undergoing changes.

Originally, in the original book, after the female lead transmigrated, she would leverage modern knowledge and inventions to swiftly amass wealth, ultimately becoming the wealthiest person in the country. Moreover, she would successfully bring the leaders of the martial arts world and the heroes of the martial realm under her control.

The Third Prince’s successful reclaiming of the throne was attributed to the financial backing from the female lead and the support of her influential connections..
