Great Ming: The Strongest Imperial Brocade Guard

Flying Fish Robes, Embroidered Spring Sabers.

In my past life, I caught thieves. In this life, I am an executioner in the eyes of the nobility.

Yu Cheng, for his part, takes great pleasure in it.

With the mind of a highly learned man holding two doctoral degrees in the twenty-first century,

plus a combat prowess that somehow came as a transmigrator's blessing,

who else could stand against him in this Ming dynasty?

From the Hu-Lan Purge to the Jingnan Campaign, Yu Cheng's shadow was never far away.

He became one of the ministers entrusted with Zhu Chongba's heir.

He also became a minister who spoke frankly to the Yongle Emperor.

But though he is a minister, Yu Cheng ultimately has choices of his own.

I don't want to be The Outcast, nor do I want my name to shine through the ages.

I want true freedom!
