Twenty Years in the Ming Dynasty’s Cold Palace, Then I Awakened the Righteous Qi

[Confucian cultivation + sudden enlightenment and self-cultivation] Zhu Changluo transmigrates into the eldest prince of the Huoming Dynasty, only to discover that being a prince is no easy life. The entire court may support him, but his father favors another son. A scheming consort whispers in the emperor’s ear, the eunuch faction vies for power, and trouble brews both inside and beyond the palace. Fortunately, he suddenly awakens the Water Virtue of the Literary Heart. From then on, “A golden-scaled carp is no pond-dweller; with wind and cloud, it becomes a dragon.” Water and fire have been at odds since ancient times. Once Zhu Changluo, endowed with Water Virtue and literary talent, resolves to become crown prince, “Dragons roar through the nine heavens, shaking the world; winds and clouds gather as they roam the Eastern Sea.” He stirs up a storm across the capital! For twenty years in the palace, he never stopped writing and diligently practiced calligraphy, eventually becoming a Divine Talisman Master. With a single character, he can turn the essence of Heaven and Earth into soldiers under his command. A minister gifts him a sword, and he nurtures a heart full of righteous qi. He composes a poem before the throne, drawing upon the fortune of his ancestors. The whole nation looks on as he is proclaimed king! A Divine Talisman Master, sword in hand and carrying the ancient classic, the Dao De Jing, he advances step by step toward the summit of the world. After ascending the throne, Zhu Changluo becomes a Confucian Sage of the Nine Virtues, leading the Huoming Dynasty to greatness. The demon barbarians of the eight directions, the three thousand mystic kingdoms, the Buddhist monks of the Floating Sky Mountain... One by one, these unimaginably powerful realms are subdued by the hundred billion dragon riders Zhu Changluo personally trained.
