Synopsis

[This is an alternate-history novel. I hope you enjoy it.]

Chen Shijie, the only son of Chen Mao, a minister during the Jingnan Campaign, has suffered from a brain ailment since childhood. He could have coasted through life doing nothing, but somehow he catches Zhu Di's eye.

Chen Shijie: “My father is the Yongle Emperor?”

Zhu Di: “Huh! You're a clever little fellow. Let me tell you, being my son comes with perks. You can become a prince consort.”

Chen Shijie: “Father, please accept my bow!”

With the Yongle Emperor backing him, Chen Shijie begins a life of indulgence and excess.

Looking for a Historical Novel Where the Protagonist Transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty

I read a book a while ago about someone who transmigrated to the Ming dynasty, but I can't remember the title. I only remember that he initially worked for Zhu Yuanzhang, and later saved Empress Ma and Zhu Biao. After Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao died, the emperors who came after them stopped listening to him.
