Great Ming: I Railed Against Zhu Yuanzhang from the Start and Became the Imperial Tutor

Zhang Tianyi transmigrates to the Great Ming world. He has mastered the Thirty-Six Heavenly Transformations and needs only to overcome one more tribulation to become an immortal.

Unfortunately, spiritual energy is scarce in the Great Ming.

Zhang Tianyi has no choice but to settle for the incense-and-worship path to immortality, which requires him to become the Great Ming's Imperial Preceptor.

As it happens, Zhang Tianyi meets an old man on the street, who has brought his grandson to have his fortune told.

The old man asks, "How does my grandson's face look to you?"

Zhang Tianyi: "He has the face of someone who'll die young, in a fire. He certainly doesn't look like a ruler."

The old man asks, "And what about my face?"

Zhang Tianyi: "A beggar king."

Unwilling to give up, the old man asks, "How will the Great Ming's first imperial examination end?"

Zhang Tianyi: "Shoddy construction. It's about to collapse."

The old man asks angrily, "How many years will my Great Ming last?"

Zhang Tianyi: "It'll fall in the second generation!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nearly fainted with rage and cursed Zhang Tianyi as a wicked Daoist who dared to curse the Great Ming instead of saying anything auspicious.

He ordered Zhang Tianyi's execution, but just then, the massive examination hall collapsed because of corruption!
