Synopsis

I am Liu Hanwen, the third grandson of Liu Bowen, the Earl of Sincerity of the Ming dynasty.

In my previous life, I was a university student who had only just graduated when I spent two and a half years struggling through illness in a hospital bed.

I thought that, reborn, I could use my scattered memories from my past life to live out this one in carefree style.

But in my first month of life, Emperor Taizu of the Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang, appointed me as the future Crown Prince’s study companion.

I figured I could live with being a study companion. At least my life would be smooth sailing.

Who could have guessed the job would involve so much work?

Luckily, on the night of my third birthday, I awakened the long-awaited golden finger.

I thought I’d finally reach new heights and start living my best life.

Who could have known that as a child, Old Zhu would work me to the bone?

Then, after I’d finally grown up, Big Zhu would do the same.

Just when I was about to make something of myself, Little Zhu took the throne and started squeezing me too.

It’s not like I want to work this hard!

Wouldn’t it be better to lie flat?

Lying flat is great. Who wouldn’t want to lie flat?

So why am I the only one who can’t lie flat?!

Still, at least I occasionally get ordered to play the part of a corrupt official…

Looking for High-Quality Historical Fiction. No Mindless Power Trips or Brain-Dead Plotting

I want high-quality historical fiction that’s engaging and doesn’t dumb things down or rely on brainless plots. It can be satisfying, but don’t treat readers like idiots. No stories like the one where the protagonist fools Cao Cao’s quartermaster about the provisions from the start, or those where a literati protagonist suddenly has the strength of a tyrant. They’re unoriginal and mindless...

Recommend Some Worthwhile Ming Dynasty Novels

I’ve read several books about the Ming Dynasty. Overall, they had excellent prose, deep historical knowledge, and well-crafted characters. But a few seem to share the same flaws: too much exposition and overly contrived schemes. Any good recommendations?

I'm in Another Reading Slump. Recommend Some Books for Me, Please. I'm a Veteran Reader

I just want to read something high quality. Ensemble cast, historical setting, cultivation, a world-weary female lead, an unconventional plot, smart characters, humor without tired tropes, completed but still fresh, good writing, a gentle male lead, fantasy, and a happy ending. I'm a veteran reader, so anything in those categories works.
