Great Ming: Chongba, I Really Didn't Mean to Take the Throne!

Chen Qiao transmigrates to the end of the Yuan dynasty and becomes a wealthy landowner in Chenjia Town, outside Haozhou City.

Chen Qiao originally only wants to hold on to his small patch of land and become a hidden power player. But Guo Zixing takes a liking to him and even marries his adopted daughter to him.

And so the future Empress Ma, whose name will be known throughout the land, becomes his wife.

From that point on, Chen Qiao's troubles begin.

Zhu Yuanzhang: I treated you like a brother, and you steal my wife?

Chen Qiao: Chongba, I was forced into it.

Zhu Yuanzhang: …Then what do you mean by surrounding Yingtian with troops? I treated you like a brother, and you not only steal my wife, you want to steal the empire from me too?

Chen Qiao looks at the million-strong army behind him and says helplessly: Chongba, I really was forced into it. I swear I'm not trying to steal the empire from you!
