Great Ming: I Refuse to Lie Flat, So Old Zhu Begs Me to Build an Empire Where the Sun Never Sets

A 30-year-old corporate drone is electrocuted and transmigrates into Zhu Zhi, the fifteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang!

From the start, he knows he'll be sent to his fief at age thirteen, where he'll be trapped for the rest of his life. Is that really his fate?

Zhu Zhi brings out his modern knowledge: he overhauls tables and chairs, overturning ancient conventions; develops penicillin to save Empress Ma; breaks the great families' monopoly with anonymous exam papers; and steals the Cui family's business with distilled liquor!

He saves Consort Guo Ning at Taiye Lake and wins Zhu Yuanzhang's favor. He trades barbs with censor officials in court, leaving the great families speechless. He recruits Chang Mao, allies with Xu Da, and secretly builds up his influence.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Zhi'er, what are these penicillin and distilled liquor? Some kind of divine treasure?"

Zhu Zhi: "Imperial Father, it's called technology! With it, our Great Ming can build an empire where the sun never sets!"

Zhu Di: "Fifteenth Brother, take me with you and help me rise to the top!"

Empress Ma: "Zhi'er, from now on, your mother consort will be in charge of the imperial harem!"

From a young prince hidden deep in the palace to Prince of Liaodong, powerful enough to sway the entire court, Zhu Zhi wields modern black technology. He keeps Zhu Yuanzhang happy while driving development, and tramples the great families as he expands the empire, until Great Ming's dragon banners fly across the world!
