Great Ming: A Century-Old Family Begins Its Quest for Immortality at the End of the Ming Dynasty

Reborn in the late Ming dynasty, Jiang Chen received a family sign-in System. He discovered that as long as he kept raising his family's level, he could claim generous rewards after each sign-in.

The late Ming was a turning point between Eastern and Western civilizations.

The Western Age of Exploration was nearing its peak, and Western civilization was spreading around the globe with the colonists.

Meanwhile, the East had fallen under the ignorant rule of foreign peoples.

From the late Ming onward, China no longer stood among the world's great civilizations.

Jiang Chen was determined to change everything.

He was a pioneer of early Ming capitalism, a founder of modern agriculture, and the driving force behind the East's first Industrial Revolution.

In that era, he led China out from under foreign rule, gathered refugees, opened up trade routes, overcame food shortages, and crushed the refugee rebellions. His family, too, became a pillar of the age.
