After transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty in the thirteenth year of the Hongwu era, Lin Cheng has no desire to change history like those who came before him.
All he wants is for Old Zhu to execute him as soon as possible, so he can take the tens of billions given to him by the System and return to modern times for a quiet life.
As luck would have it, just after his transmigration, he gets caught up in the Hu Weiyong case, one of the four great cases of the early Ming Dynasty.
After getting involved, Lin Cheng happily goes home to wait for Old Zhu's execution order.
Unfortunately, things don't go as he hoped...
Zhu Yuanzhang: “Are there really so many problems with the system I established?”
Zhu Biao: “May I ask, Brother Lin, how should we address the land-concentration problem you mentioned?”
Zhu Xiongying: “I will never forget your kindness in saving my life, Teacher. I would be honored to become your student.”
