Great Ming: My Live-In Son-in-Law Is Actually a Prince

In the thirty-fourth year of the Jiajing reign, a miraculous child clutching a golden spear was born at the residence of Prince Yu, Crown Prince Zhu Zaihou!

When Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Houcong, heard about it, he was greatly surprised and bestowed upon him the name Zhu Yiyi.

In the fourth year after Zhu Yiyi's birth, Emperor Jiajing dreamed of a figure clutching a golden spear and preparing to assassinate him.

A Daoist named Lan Daoxing claimed that the imperial grandson, Zhu Yiyi, was an ill omen who would threaten the emperor's life.

Believing him, Emperor Jiajing ordered his men to go to Prince Yu's residence that very night and kill his own grandson, Zhu Yiyi!

When the Crown Prince, Zhu Zaihou, heard the news, he intended to defy the imperial decree. A maid volunteered to substitute her own son for Zhu Yiyi. They placed Zhu Yiyi in a wooden barrel and set it in the nearby Grand Canal. After that, he vanished without a trace...

The history books record only one line about Zhu Yiyi:

"In the thirty-eighth year of the Jiajing reign, Zhu Yiyi, eldest legitimate son of Zhu Zaihou, Emperor Muzong of Ming, died at the age of four and was posthumously named Crown Prince Xianhuai."

Many years later,

Zhu Zaihou: "My Yiyi, come home with me and inherit the throne!"

Zhou Ling'er: "What? My live-in son-in-law is actually the Crown Prince!"
