Great Ming: I Keep Petitioning at the Risk of Death, and Zhu Yuanzhang Is at His Wit's End

Lu Yuan, a modern office worker ground down by the 996 work schedule, was inexplicably transmigrated into the role of an imperial censor in the Ming Dynasty while pulling an all-nighter revising a PowerPoint. He was even bound to a System that rewarded him for remonstrating unto death!

His very first task was absurd: criticize Zhu Yuanzhang's work schedule.

In court, Lu Yuan braced himself and fired away: "Your Majesty reviews two hundred jin of memorials. This is tyranny!"

Old Zhu's face turned black as a pot. "Drag him out and execute him!"

At the critical moment, the beginner's protection period kicked in, and the Jinyiwei's blades slid right off him!

Next, Lu Yuan pulled out an electronic blood pressure monitor, a holographic presentation on healthy living, and a PowerPoint he had made himself. After a flurry of moves, he successfully raised Zhu Yuanzhang's blood pressure to 180.

He exceeded the task requirements and even earned the title "Blood Pressure Reaper," a collection of contrarian catchphrases, and a padded suit to protect him from beatings.

Before he could catch his breath, the System issued another extremely difficult task: prove that the eunuch system violated labor law.

That was stirring up a hornet's nest. The eunuch system was deeply entrenched in the Ming Dynasty, and this would offend the entire eunuch faction and the conservative establishment.

But Lu Yuan had no choice. A fierce confrontation with tradition and imperial power was about to erupt. Could he work another miracle?
