This is an exciting tale of transmigration. A modern enthusiast of Ming history transmigrates into Zhu Xiongying, the eldest legitimate grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang. At the time, the eight-year-old Zhu Xiongying is on the brink of dying young. Drawing on his knowledge of history and his own intelligence, he awakens from a serious illness and makes a strong impression on Zhu Yuanzhang by offering original insights into governing the realm, earning the emperor’s favor.
However, this also stirs the jealousy of the Prince of Jin and other princes, who secretly plot against him. Zhu Xiongying faces peril during an archery and horsemanship contest, but escapes danger through courage and resourcefulness. Later, he joins upright officials such as Xu Huizu in planning new policies and helping Zhu Yuanzhang carry out reforms.
Meanwhile, the remnants of Hu Weiyong’s faction collude with foreign enemies to overthrow the Ming dynasty. They see Zhu Xiongying as a thorn in their side and lay an ambush to assassinate him. Facing danger without fear, Zhu Xiongying turns the tables, sees through their scheme, and defeats them. In the end, with his support, the Ming dynasty flourishes and ushers in a golden age, while Zhu Xiongying forges a legend of his own.
