Ling Xu accidentally transmigrates into the Yongle era depicted in The Rise of Phoenixes of the Ming Dynasty.
As a transmigrator, he has no golden finger whatsoever.
Life is just too hard in these turbulent times.
So Ling Xu decides to reveal that he’s a transmigrator.
Zhu Di: You say you’re from the future. Then tell me, how would it be if I passed the throne to the Crown Prince?
Ling Xu: Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi will die after just ten months on the throne!
Zhu Di: What about Prince Han, Zhu Gaoxu?
Ling Xu: Prince Han will collude with the remnants of the Jingnan rebels, plot a revolt, and ally with the Oirats and Tatars. He’ll end up like a chicken baked in a clay pot.
Zhu Di: What about Prince Zhao, Zhu Gaosui?
Ling Xu: Prince Zhao is a well-known member of Prince Han’s faction. He’ll collude with the Oirats and Tatars, and rebel after you die.
Zhu Di: What about my beloved grandson, Zhu Zhanji?
Ling Xu: He’ll die after just ten years on the throne!
Zhu Di: What about my great-grandson?
Ling Xu: The Ming’s God of War, Zhu Qizhen, will hand over an army of half a million and be captured by the Oirats. In five hundred years, he’ll be the only one taken to that place. History will remember him as the Emperor Who Knocked on the Gates.
Zhu Di: I’m freaking losing it!
