Great Ming: The Imperial Tutor Who Taught Zhu Yunwen the Art of Ruthlessness

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the Crown Prince dies of illness. Zhu Yuanzhang is devastated, and three months later names his grandson, Zhu Yunwen, as heir.

On the night the heir is chosen, Zhu Yuanzhang goes to pay his respects to his late son, only for the Crown Prince's memorial tablet to suddenly split into four pieces.

Shocked, Zhu Yuanzhang summons the Imperial Astronomical Bureau. After investigating, its officials are horrified to discover that the Crown Prince's line is in danger of dying out.

His son's line will end, and... Zhu Yuanzhang dares not finish the thought. He orders them to find a way to avert the disaster.

But fate cannot be changed, and the bureau has no answer. A streak of purple light cuts across the night sky and lands on Qixia Mountain. The one destined to break the calamity has appeared.

On Qixia Mountain, Zhu Yuanzhang meets Qin Feng, a man who transmigrated and has lived in seclusion for three years. After speaking with him, Zhu Yuanzhang is astonished by his brilliance.

Then he reads Qin Feng's essay on the art of shamelessness, and resolves to appoint him as the Crown Prince's tutor.

From that day on, the world has an Imperial Tutor who achieves sainthood through the art of shamelessness.

The Ming dynasty loses the indecisive Zhu Yunwen and gains a Jianwen Emperor who keeps his patience in the face of adversity and strikes with ruthless decisiveness.
