Great Ming: At Nine Years Old, I Could Communicate with Crickets

Early in the Xuande reign.

The newly enthroned Zhu Zhanji was obsessed with cricket fighting.

The palace was keen on the cricket-fighting craze.

Officials competed to scour the countryside,

seizing large, fierce crickets and presenting them to the court in hopes of winning promotion and honors.

Cheng Shuo, a college student well versed in Ming history,

transmigrated into the body of a nine-year-old boy,

the son of Cheng Ming, the protagonist of Pu Songling's story.

He awakened the Spirit Communication System,

which let him control crickets with his mind.

His superior was delighted

and sent Cheng Shuo and his undefeated cricket to the palace.

Thanks to its remarkable battle record

and its ability to sing and dance,

it won the favor of Zhu Zhanji, who was still a child at heart.

For his achievements, Cheng Shuo was rewarded

with a position as the emperor's personal study companion.

He became the young Zhu Zhanji's most trusted friend,

helping the future emperor root out corrupt officials and defeat the northern invaders...
