Great Ming: Jilted from the Start, I Became the Imperial Grandson

Zhu Xiong transmigrates to the twenty-third year of the Hongwu era, becoming a merchant outside Beiping.

He had hoped to live a peaceful life with his beloved, Lan Yue'er, but her family turns out to be the mighty Duke of Liang, Lan Yu!

"A mere merchant thinks he can lay a hand on a daughter of the Lan family?"

"Take a hundred taels of silver and get out of Beiping at once!"

After the Lan family beats and humiliates him and takes away the woman he loves, Zhu Xiong awakens the Military Merit System in his darkest hour!

A real man needn't worry about finding a wife! Fame and honor are won on horseback!

From that day on, an unrivaled warrior emerges!

In the northern campaign against the Mongols, he breaks through a city with a single thrust of his spear and beheads the enemy commander amid a vast army! On a thousand-mile raid, he strikes straight at the heart of the enemy, burns their royal court, kills the Yuan emperor, and earns a peerless distinction!

In the southern campaign against the Japanese pirates, he bombards their fleet and wipes out their lairs, expanding the Ming Empire's borders and carrying its fame across the seas!

When everyone thinks he's nothing but a reckless brute, his true identity shocks the entire Ming Empire:

"What? That murderous Zhu Xiong is actually Zhu Xiongying, the imperial eldest grandson who supposedly died young?"

Duke of Liang Lan Yu regrets his actions bitterly. Those who once humiliated me can only kneel at my feet now!
