Great Ming: Old Zhu Simulates His Life, and I Become an Immortal

Gu Yun wakes up to find that he has transmigrated to Jiangning County and inherited his mother's nearly bankrupt tavern.

What Gu Yun doesn't know is that some mysterious force has given everything around him strange effects.

The wine he brews lets people get drunk and foresee the near future.

A bowl of fried peanuts can cure all poisons.

A serving of vegetable and tofu soup can prolong one's life...

Just as Gu Yun is about to close up for good, three customers arrive at his shop.

There's Old Huang, whose features bear a striking resemblance to Gu Yun's; Old Li, who looks like a sly old fox; and Old Xu, a burly guard.

They are Zhu Yuanzhang and his two sworn brothers, out to investigate the people's lives.

The three order some food and drink, then start rambling!

Old Huang: "My good grandson Zhu Xiongying was saved?"

Old Li: "Your Majesty, I really wasn't plotting a rebellion."

Old Xu: "Where did I get a son-in-law?"

Gu Yun: "For crying out loud, what kind of nonsense are you dreaming up? Get up and pay!"

Years later, when Gu Yun sees Old Zhu dressed in imperial robes, respectfully pleading with him as the Imperial Preceptor to treat Zhu Biao, Gu Yun realizes that he seems to have become an immortal.
