Great Ming: After Taking in Zhu Di, My Life Was Predicted

After transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty, I somehow became Zhu Zhanjun, the younger half-brother of the Xuande Emperor Zhu Zhanji, who was said to be "as cultured as Li Shimin and as accomplished in the arts as Emperor Huizong of Song."

Legend had it Zhu Zhanjun was violent by nature, had beaten people to death with a staff several times, and was deeply at odds with his brother. He also died a miserable death.

But can someone tell me why the souls of celebrated figures throughout history, including an eternal emperor, a renowned Tang chancellor, a famous Shu general, and an immortal poet, have all come to pledge themselves to me, urging me ten times a day to rebel and take the throne?

Even my imperial grandfather, Zhu Di, wants in on the excitement. He insists on following me everywhere, all in the name of "protection."

Just as I was congratulating myself on my golden finger, my brother Zhu Zhanji awakened his own golden finger: a divine artifact that could predict the future.

It predicted that our two uncles would either raise an army in rebellion or plot an assassination in secret.

It predicted that his two sons would either be defeated and captured or stripped of their titles after a succession struggle.

But when it finally predicted the future of his younger half-brother Zhu Zhanjun, it revealed that he was the "young hero" who had repeatedly saved Zhu Zhanji and his son from danger.

He defended the capital, put down the Prince of Han, seized power from the Prince of Zhao, defeated the Oirats, rescued the Yingzong Emperor, and won renown overseas! The Ming Dynasty's bravest and most extraordinary guardian!
