Synopsis

In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Crown Prince Zhu Biao died!

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated over which grandson to name heir, a parallel-world comparison sky screen appeared, revealing the very different lives of Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yuntong.

Old Zhu watched Zhu Yuntong on the screen: though he had rebelled, his achievements far surpassed Zhu Yuanzhang's own. His name was celebrated through the ages and remembered for generations, and he was praised as an emperor without equal.

Then he glanced at Zhu Yunwen beside him, who would die amid the campaign to strip the vassal princes of their power, and began to wonder whether he had made the right choice.

Blue Jade watched the screen on the left, where Zhu Yuanzhang had 15,000 people, including Blue Jade himself, executed to ensure Zhu Yunwen's smooth succession.

Then he looked at the screen on the right, where Zhu Yuntong called him Great-uncle, placed his complete trust in him, and conquered most of Asia.

The same thought surfaced in his mind: Is it still in time to rebel now?

Zheng He, Yu Qian, Xia Yuanji, and the others watched the peerless emperor Zhu Yuntong give them the chance to put their talents to use, bring their careers to a satisfying end, and earn a place in history.

The same thought came to all of them: They wanted to rebel too.

Only Zhu Yunwen and Fang Xiaoru doubted themselves. "Could we really be that useless?"

[An imaginative take on history, with some changes made to the real historical record. Please don't get hung up on the details. Many thanks!]
