Great Ming: I, Zhu Gao Xu, Want to Be Emperor

Zhu Hong, a graduate student in history, accidentally transmigrates to the Ming dynasty while excavating the tomb of the Prince of Han.

As luck would have it, he becomes Zhu Gaoxu, the second son of Zhu Di.

Transmigration isn't scary. What's scary is landing in the very subject you've been researching!

Besides, Zhu Gaoxu is a serial rebel.

He spends his whole life rebelling, but never succeeds.

In the end, he is locked inside a bronze vat and roasted alive.

Zhu Hong panics!

I don't want to end up as roast duck!

To escape his fate as roast duck, Zhu Hong, an expert on Ming history, decides to save himself!

If he becomes emperor, no one can turn him into roast duck!

"Dear Father, I don't want to rebel, but you were the one who told me to strive for the throne!"

"Big Brother, you're going to die young anyway and won't be emperor for long. Why not hand the throne over to me?"

"Nephew, the waters of being emperor run too deep for you. Leave it to your uncle!"

As the wheels of history roll on, Zhu Hong is astonished to discover that somehow, he has become the emperor of the Great Ming...
