I Keep a Diary in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang Wants Me as His Imperial Advisor

After transmigrating to the twelfth year of the Hongwu era of the Ming dynasty, Lu Xuan became a young monk.

With no System and no golden finger, Lu Xuan decided to give up trying. He would spend each day reciting scriptures and writing in his diary.

He would watch the clouds drift and listen quietly as flowers bloomed and fell.

But Lu Xuan made some surprising discoveries.

The Black-Clad Chancellor Yao Guangxiao was his senior brother.

Rebels had somehow appeared in the imperial palace.

The Grand Secretariat, which was not established until the reign of Emperor Chengzu, was founded on the very day Hu Weiyong died.

Empress Ma lived to a ripe old age, and Crown Prince Zhu Biao did not die prematurely.

The Prince of Yan even swept across the plains, expanding the Ming dynasty's territory by eight hundred li.

Meanwhile, Old Zhu awakened a Diary System that let him read mysterious diaries.

"The Ming dynasty will fall? How dare you!"

"I'm a rebel? You insolent fool!"

"The Grand Secretariat? That's a good idea!"

"Save the empress!"

"Thank goodness my Biao'er is all right!"

"Fourth son, go fight the Mongols. Just stay out of my sight when you're done!"

"Heh, this little monk has the makings of a State Preceptor!"

Then, one day, an imperial edict arrived: Old Zhu wanted Lu Xuan to leave the monastery and become State Preceptor!
