Gou Sheng Lived for 277 Years in the Ming Dynasty

My name is Zhu Pingan, a history graduate student who fell into the first year of Hongwu from the future. I originally thought that my life script was to return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince. At worst, I would struggle in the last years of Hongwu. But reality gave me a loud slap in the face. I almost starved to death on the streets of Yingtianfu after just one bowl. At that moment I realized. No princes, generals or ministers, no names left in history, are worth a bowl of steaming pork offal soup and rice. From Hongwu to Chongzhen, in the two hundred and seventy-seven years, I have seen heroic rulers come to court, and I have seen mediocre rulers harm the country; I have seen famous ministers emerge in large numbers, and I have also seen eunuchs causing chaos. The world is changing, and the people on the dragon throne are changing again and again. And I, Zhu Ping'an, am just a seller of pork offal soup and rice on the corner of Yingtianfu. My life creed is only one word - Gou. As long as I live long enough, I can read this unfinished graduation thesis with my own eyes. They all called me "Uncle Ping An" and "Master Ping An", and eventually I became an "old god" living in legend. Only I know that I am not a god, I am just the strongest in the Ming Dynasty - "Sage Gou". This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
