My Sister Is the Great Ming's Bewitching Consort, So I'll Happily Be a Spendthrift

Wan Tong transmigrates to the Ming dynasty during the Chenghua era and becomes the younger brother of Imperial Consort Wan.

That’s right, his elder sister is the woman who is seventeen years older than the emperor, yet is the wife he loves most.

In the early years of Chenghua, civil officials and relatives of the previous emperor’s consorts hold power, while the Ming dynasty faces troubles at home and abroad.

Bureaucrats collude with the palace guards, plotting to harm Imperial Consort Wan and the little Wan family behind her.

They regard her as a thorn in their side, repeatedly impeach the Wan family, and even hire assassins to kill its members.

Wan Tong struggles to survive between rival factions, using his knowledge to plan his way forward step by step.

You monopolize the profits of the southeastern coast, and even forbid the emperor from sending another fleet on voyages to the Western Seas?

I, Wan Tong, will submit a memorial recommending the establishment of the Western Depot, then take the Grand Eunuch Wang Zhi as my apprentice!

Slaughter the great clans of the southeast, launch an expedition across the sea to Fusang, and force the Japanese to mine silver to fill the treasury.

Head south to the Nanyang, open up maritime trade, and seize mineral resources!

Bind the Mongol tribes to us with shared interests, expand the empire, and bring the Northern Sea under our control.

Launch a campaign against the Jianzhou Jurchens, destroy their strongholds, and wipe them out completely.

…

Throughout the secret history of the Ming court, the emperor spent his entire life fighting the civil officials for power.

That’s fine. From now on, I, Wan Tong, will be the most powerful imperial relative in the Ming dynasty.
