Great Ming: I’m Done Pretending, I’m Zhu Yuanzhang!

Su Ming accidentally transmigrates to the Hongwu era of the Ming dynasty, from the start becoming the owner of an obscure inn in Yingtian Prefecture.

Luckily, he meets a wealthy gentleman who's fascinated by Su Ming's stories and comes by every day to pester him with questions.

Innkeeper Su: What kind of person do you think the current emperor is?

Innkeeper Su: What are the odds of victory in this northern campaign against the remnants of the Yuan dynasty?

Innkeeper Su: Which of His Majesty's sons do you think will inherit the throne?

Innkeeper Su: I've got a few daughters who are old enough to marry. Why don't you take them all?

Su Ming is instantly furious. Aren't these questions deliberately putting me on the spot?

I'm an honest, humble commoner. How could I possibly...

"Innkeeper Su, I'll pay you extra!"

Su Ming: Let's make one thing clear: you mustn't let this get out! Here's the truth about those questions...

Not long afterward, an imperial decree arrives, summoning Su Ming to the palace. Just as Su Ming starts wondering if he revealed too much and is about to be beheaded, he finds himself in the Hall of Worshiping Heaven.

"Innkeeper Su, take a look at my face. How much does it resemble the old days?"

"Heh heh, no need to pretend anymore. I'm Zhu Yuanzhang!"
