Dumped by His FIANCÉE and Framed for Murder, He Returns as an OP Imperial Prince!

Recap

After dying during a routine hospital procedure, the narrator wakes up in the body of Qin Luo, the once-celebrated holy son of the Taishu Holy Land. He is immediately put on trial, accused of murdering fellow disciples, stealing a sacred artifact, and conspiring with the demonic sect. His former fiancée, Lu Ruan, urges him to confess, while the smug newcomer Yi Chun helps turn the sect against him.

The Trial and the System

Qin Luo’s escape route arrives in the form of a Super Villain System, which offers him power if he embraces the accusations instead of denying them. With little to lose, he theatrically admits to a string of crimes—including some he clearly makes up on the spot—and is rewarded with the Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Art, powerful sword techniques, and the restored Taishu Bell.

The system’s cheerful prompts and Qin Luo’s running commentary provide much of the comedy: he keeps wondering whether it’s a scam, while it matter-of-factly encourages him to become a world-conquering villain.

The trial turns into a duel. Qin Luo’s sudden mastery of the sect’s supposedly incomplete sword techniques shocks the elders, and he overwhelms Yi Chun despite the latter’s destiny-child advantages. When the law-enforcement elder tries to seize him, Qin Luo uses the Bell to fight back.

He remains in danger from the Holy Master and the sect’s ancestor, but a powerful saint arrives to protect him on behalf of Shin Waning, Qin Luo’s devoted junior sister. Then an envoy from the Great Qin Empire verifies Qin Luo’s jade pendant and announces that he is the empire’s long-lost ninth prince. The courtroom bullies abruptly find themselves facing a royal crisis.

Exposing Yi Chun and Leaving the Sect

Qin Luo wastes no time using his new status. He exposes the witnesses’ lack of firsthand evidence, demands a search of Yi Chun’s ring, and forces the truth into the open. Yi Chun’s hidden mentor—the Western Emperor, an immensely powerful soul—intervenes, but the confrontation spirals out of control.

Qin Luo tears out Yi Chun’s divine sword bone and captures the Western Emperor with system-purchased soul-binding treasures. Yi Chun escapes through a portal, abandoning his mentor. Qin Luo later absorbs the sword bone, rises in cultivation, and gains a formidable new weapon: the Human Sovereign Banner.

Qin Luo’s departure from the Taishu Holy Land is as spectacular as his return. Backed by imperial marquises, he rejects the sect’s attempt to keep him as its holy son on their terms, declares that he is severing ties, and warns them not to cross him again.

Lu Ruan’s fortune and status collapse as she realizes Yi Chun had deceived her. Qin Luo, meanwhile, treats her regret as another system reward. The narration repeatedly pokes fun at romance and cultivation-story clichés, especially the “childhood sweetheart loses to the newcomer” trope and the supposedly righteous hero who is really just a self-serving rival.

The Capital and Its Rivals

At the capital, Qin Luo encounters another ambitious fortune-child, Lin Shien, and Gu Qinghua, his imperial betrothed. He discovers that Qinghua is secretly involved with Lin Shien, while her other admirers—including the hapless Chun Mo—are being played as pawns.

Qin Luo turns the attempted annulment into a public spectacle: he smashes their carriage with the Taishu Bell, exposes the pair, and challenges Lin Shien. Even when officials try to protect Lin, Qin Luo claims the upper hand, humiliating his rivals and making it clear that royal status is now part of his arsenal.

The capital arc escalates into further confrontations. Qin Luo clashes with the imperious Princess Qin Yun and slaps her after she insults his mother. He is backed by his newly discovered maternal grandfather, Su Chinshin, a Great Saint.

Qin Luo also battles Lin Shien, whose powerful physique and hidden emperor-weapon fragment make him a dangerous opponent. Qin Luo and Su Chinshin strip away much of Lin Shien’s strength and fortune, though the emperor’s intervention saves Lin’s life.

Qin Luo then kills Gu Qinghua rather than keep her as a concubine, acting according to his own ruthless, villainous logic. The act earns him more fortune points but creates a new enemy in the Gu family.

The system’s next recommendations include a stronger sword, a technique for controlling followers, and a life-extending treasure for Su Chinshin. As the recap ends, Qin Luo is preparing for the empire’s bloodline baptism, while Lin Shien, crippled but still hoping for a comeback, sets his sights on an item hidden in the imperial prison.
