Great Ming: A Corporate Drone Transmigrates and Refuses Zhu Yuanzhang's Summons

After working overtime all night, Li Wei angrily flings down a bid proposal and bursts through the doors of the Ming Dynasty's Qianqing Palace. Zhu Yuanzhang is seated before him, the Embroidered Uniform Guard stands behind him, and Li Wei is still clutching his half-eaten instant noodles.

Old Zhu: "Come work for me."

Li Wei: "No way! Working 996 is exhausting, and I didn't even get a year-end bonus!"

Old Zhu draws his saber. Li Wei immediately backs down.

But the real kicker comes when Li Wei opens his laptop and plays Terminator 3. Zhu Yuanzhang watches a nuclear bomb level a city with his own eyes and nearly collapses on the spot. "Can you make one of those?" Li Wei shrugs. "Nope." Old Zhu asks about cars, machine guns, mobile phones, electric lights... Li Wei shakes his head at every question. "I'm a humanities guy... no, wait, I'm useless at science!"

But when Li Wei casually predicts that Hu Weiyong will die and the chancellor system will be abolished, Zhu Yuanzhang can no longer sit still. This man won't work, but he can serve as a prophet!

So Li Wei is locked in a storeroom, his computer is confiscated, his instant noodles are eaten, and he has to face Old Zhu's interrogation every day: What else happens in the future? How long will the Ming Dynasty last? Will the Zhu family's descendants amount to anything?

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's eager, thirsty-for-knowledge eyes, Li Wei silently prays: Please don't ask me about Zhu Di's Jingnan Campaign...
