Great Ming: My Imperial Brother Ascends the Throne, and I Become the Shadow Emperor?

Zhu Houwei transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty and becomes the second son of Emperor Xiaozong, Zhu Youtang, and the younger brother of Zhu Houzhao.

When he is born, strange phenomena fill heaven and earth, and demonic energy surges to the skies. He is seen as an ill omen.

So Zhu Youtang publicly declares that the child has died, while secretly trying to cleanse the demonic energy from him.

Zhu Houwei originally thinks he can live out his days in comfort, but then he awakens a sign-in System.

For ten years, Zhu Houwei quietly signs in, building up all kinds of trump cards across the land.

It is only when Zhu Youtang is on the verge of death that he entrusts Zhu Houwei with the authority of the Shadow Emperor.

The Ming Dynasty's Shadow Emperor can handle anything the emperor can handle, and even things the emperor cannot.

After Zhu Houzhao takes the throne, powerful ministers and treacherous officials dominate the court, the various princes marshal their forces, and the Oirat and other northern tribes on the frontier stir restlessly.

Even the martial world has forces such as the Money Gang, the Divine Constabulary, the Sun Moon Holy Cult, and the World Society, all using their martial power to defy the law.

There are also transcendent holy places like Mount Longhu and Wudi City...
