After Turning Down Zhu Yuanzhang, I Scrape by Collecting Scrap

The moment he transmigrates to the Ming dynasty, he gets kidnapped.

Little do they know his identity is tied to the fate of the empire!

Zhu Yuanzhang: "My dear grandson, I'm waiting for you to inherit my throne!"

Zhu Huai: "No need. I found enough cow dung to make myself a meal."

Zhu Biao: "Son, your father is frail. The empire will have to depend on you!"

Carrying a bamboo basket, Zhu Huai helplessly wipes the sweat from his brow.

Zhu Huai: "Dad, you promised you'd have a conscience! I gave you a Nine-Turn Great Tonic Pill. Even if the Jade Emperor himself died, you couldn't kick the bucket!"

In his previous life, Zhu Huai worked diligently as an office drone for years.

In this life, nobody will stop him from becoming the king of doing nothing!

This is not a work of official history, and the pacing is not fast. I hope you enjoy reading it.
