This is the first time I've heard that Zhu Yuanzhang once said starving to death is better than rebelling. I looked it up online and it turns out it's true. The Han people have indeed been quite unfortunate to be in the hands of someone like him.
6. You've hit the nail on the head. For a time traveler, serving as an official under Zhu Yuanzhang means certain death, and not serving him also means certain death. The better you perform under him, the more gruesome your death will be. And once you have ties to him later, it will be even more tragic.
Well written. These days, novels don't even dare to depict rebellion anymore. The author is commendable.
This is a very good novel about the early Ming Dynasty. It unexpectedly chose a different direction from others, standing out from all the novels that fawn over Zhu Yuanzhang and clearly exposing his true colors. It's very enjoyable, much better than reading those sycophantic novels.
A truly excellent book. My least favorite historical figure is Zhu Yuanzhang (Chu Chongba), but the reading experience was incredibly enjoyable. The author has a profound knowledge of history and culture. Keep writing! 👍
I'll give you a five-star rating just for your rebellion.
Finally, I've seen a time traveler who's against the Ming Dynasty. I really can't understand why so many people fawn over such a terrible dynasty as the Ming.
This is a very original plot, completely different from other time-travel novels where the protagonist works for the Zhu family. I really hope the protagonist can replace the Zhu family and become the next Qin Shi Huang!
If Ming Dynasty enthusiasts saw this, they'd probably curse the author to death. I've seen so many AI-generated videos this year, all praising Zhu Yuanzhang.
Finally, I've found a historical fantasy novel that doesn't involve time travel back in time to become someone's dog.
