Li Qingyun transmigrates to the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty and becomes Zhu Yunton, Zhu Biao’s third son.
As a modern man who knows how history unfolds, he originally plans to let events take their course and keep his head down.
But when his fourth uncle, Zhu Di, takes the throne and says, “As long as I’m alive, he won’t feel safe,”
Li Qingyun realizes just how wrong he was. To hell with keeping his head down, and to hell with respecting the original course of history.
As a prince and imperial grandson, if he refuses to fight for power, he’s doomed to be swept into the vortex of imperial authority and torn to pieces.
Reborn on the day his father, Zhu Biao, dies, Li Qingyun swears that in this life, he will climb step by step to the highest throne.
Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Di: they’ll all become stepping stones beneath his feet.
It's pretty good. I've always enjoyed reading novels set in the Ming Dynasty.
