Great Ming: Zhu Di, You Call This Abandoning a Pawn?

As the Prince of Yan's heir, he was a useless, overweight young man, unloved by his father and maternal uncle.

From the start, he was thrown into the Jingnan Campaign. With no choice, he led ten thousand elderly, weak, sick, and disabled men to their deaths.

The imperial army was poised to attack from outside, while his younger brother coveted his position and was bent on killing him.

With others holding the knife and him helpless on the chopping block, his was a hellish start, and he could die at any moment.

By a twist of fate, he acquired the Literary and Military Talent Development System.

And so, many years later...

Zhu Di: My son is brilliant and mighty, with the bearing of a true ruler. He is truly an emperor for the ages. I cannot compare!

Zhu Gaochi: Big Brother, I won't fight you for it anymore. I'm the useless one...

Yang Shiqi: Your Majesty's achievements surpass the Three Sovereigns, your virtue exceeds the Five Emperors, and your civil and military accomplishments will be remembered for all time!
