Great Ming: From Conquering the Xiongnu to Becoming an Emperor for the Ages!

Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Houcong, was obsessed with cultivating immortality. His children died one after another, making him increasingly superstitious about the claims of Taoist alchemists.

In the 23rd year of Jiajing's reign, he had another son. The child had a dragon-shaped birthmark on his thigh and was surrounded by dark energy. The alchemists declared him an ill omen, so Zhu Houcong had no choice but to send him out of the palace.

Fifteen years later, Zhu Chen had grown up in Yiwu and was recruited into the Qi Family Army by Qi Jiguang. Recognizing his potential, Qi Jiguang wanted to promote him and help him earn merit for the Ming dynasty.

But nobody knew that Zhu Chen was actually Emperor Jiajing's seventh son, or that his hidden identity was the commander of ten thousand Snow Dragon Cavalry.

When Emperor Jiajing learned that Zhu Chen was his son, he wept with joy. "Your father was wrong all those years ago. Come back to the palace and enjoy your life as a prince."

Zhu Chen: "Be a prince? Are you sure you haven't misunderstood something, Father? You should focus on cultivating immortality. I'll inherit the throne."

"?" Zhu Houcong.
