Great Ming: Reborn as a Stillborn, I Build an Empire for the Ages

In the third year of the Tianqi reign, Empress Zhang Yan was framed and gave birth to a stillborn child.

The court was outraged, and the imperial harem fell into chaos.

Just then, Zhu Hang transmigrates into the world and becomes Zhu Cirui, the historical Tianqi Emperor's eldest legitimate son.

The stillborn child comes back to life, activating the National Fortune System and setting the Ming dynasty on the path to reform.

At age zero, the baby in his swaddling clothes purges threats to his mother's position in the harem.

At age four, the carpenter emperor dies, and Zhu Hang ascends the throne, with Zhu Youjian assisting him in governing.

At age six, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong rise in rebellion. The land is stricken by drought, and famine strikes again and again.

At age eight, Zhu Hang lays plans across the realm, reforms the court and country, and begins purging the civil official faction.

At twelve, Zhu Hang takes personal command, quells internal unrest, executes treacherous ministers, and sends the mighty Ming cavalry beyond the passes to crush the Manchu invaders.

At fifteen, he launches the Industrial Revolution, and the Ming warships sail to Japan.

At eighteen, he forms an iron-blooded army, vies for supremacy across the seas, raises the prestige of China, and creates an enduring golden age..
