Great Ming: Twenty Years of Feigning Madness, the Ancestral Dragon's Legacy from the Start

In the Age of Empires, countless nations stand side by side. Yet the Han court's line has been broken, leaving only the Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties to struggle on. The people of this world know nothing of the Qin and Han.

As a result, foreign tribes have grown more brazen and powerful. The Mongol Yuan has Genghis Khan, Temujin! The Liao and Jin can set up the Heavenly Gate Formation and trap every army under heaven. The Tang has the heroes of Wagang, but has just suffered the Incident at Xuanwu Gate. The Song has the loyal Yue Fei fighting to the death, yet he cannot fulfill the ambitions in his heart.

The Ming has it worst of all: it got stuck with the so-called God of War, Zhu Qizhen. The Tumu Crisis wiped out the Ming's elite forces, sending the fortune of the imperial dynasty plummeting! And Zhu Xuan, through sheer bad luck, becomes the puppet emperor whom Empress Dowager Sun pushes forward to take the blame after Zhu Qizhen!

What is he supposed to do? Outside, the Oirat army watches like a tiger ready to pounce. Within the court, Empress Dowager Sun wields power, Wei Zhongxian's eunuch faction runs rampant, and at the border, the Prince of Yan harbors wolfish ambitions and lusts for the throne.

A hellish start? From the start, he chooses the First Emperor's legacy! After feigning madness for twenty years, he ascends the throne today. He will unite the lands of the Great Ming and make the sun and moon shine together!
