Xu Qi'an transmigrates to the Ming dynasty during the Jianwen era.
He originally planned to live a quiet life, make money with his wife, wait until Zheng He’s time, and sail west with the fleet to become a lord somewhere, far from the chaos of the Ming dynasty.
Who would have guessed that one day, a man claiming to be his wife’s cousin would show up at his door and challenge him to a wager every single day?
Xu Qi'an: If Li Jinglong dies, our side wins this battle and Zhu Di suffers a crushing defeat!
Cousin: I’ll take that bet. But how will Li Jinglong die, and how will Zhu Di lose?
The next day, an urgent report arrives from eight hundred li away: Cao Guogong and Grand General for the Pacification of the Realm Li Jinglong fell from his horse and died on his first campaign. The court is shaken and hastily appoints a replacement general. Zhu Di suffers a crushing defeat and flees north. Beiping falls, and the heir apparent, Zhu Gaochi, is captured alive.
Xu Qi'an: Zhu Di will cross the Yangtze in three months.
Cousin: I’ll take that bet. But how can he do it against the court’s hundreds of thousands of troops?
Xu Qi'an: …
…
Years later, Xu Qi'an gazes in dismay at the mountains of gold and silver that have piled up until his house can hold no more. “Cousin, tell me who you are. You’ve lost so much to me over the years. How do you still have anything left?”
The Jianwen Emperor, Zhu Yunwen, lifts his chin proudly. “Brother-in-law, I’m your wonderfully unlucky older cousin! Come on, let’s bet again. When Zheng He sails west this time, who will win the battle? And how?”
