A True Gentleman of the Ming Dynasty

Lu Wenjing transmigrates to the Zhengde era of the Ming dynasty. His predecessor had been stripped of his scholarly honors and, utterly despairing, was about to hang himself. Fortunately, a young lady came to his rescue in time, saving him from the jaws of death.

From then on, the Ming dynasty lost a disillusioned scholar but gained a world-renowned economist, scientist, military strategist, and philosopher.

He discusses the philosophy of the mind and military strategy with Wang Shouren, joins forces with Tang Bohu to open an art school, and is hailed by Yang Tinghe as a once-in-a-millennium genius...

The emperor makes him his tutor, the grand secretary calls him a pillar of the state, enemy nations tremble at his name, and the people sing his praises.

He reforms corrupt policies, fills the treasury, expands education, and secures the borders. After ten years of patiently building strength, with him at the helm, who could call the Zhengde emperor foolish and reckless?

He campaigns north against the Oirat, west against the khanates, south to reclaim Jiaozhi, and east toward Fusang. Thanks to him, the Ming flag flies across every corner of the world!
