The Rebellious Son Inherits No Throne

share time: 2026-02-23 06:05:20

Emperor Zhao Yuanjing is driven to coughing blood by his rebellious son Zhao Chengan—instead of learning statecraft as a crown prince, the boy roams the streets defending peddlers, even beating a minister’s son half to death to save an old candy seller. Zhao Yuanjing slams the dragon throne, yelling, “Rebel! I’d die before giving you the throne!” but secretly sends guards to protect him. Little does he know, Chengan’s “mischief” is an investigation into missing refugees—all linked to the emperor’s trusted国师 (national teacher). When Chengan’s “recklessness” uncovers the国师’s plot, their “battle for the throne” has long become a silent war over who can guard the realm’s conscience.
