From a beggar in a ruined temple to the founding emperor of the country, this is Zhu Yuanzhang's ups and downs of life narrated from a first-person perspective. In the smoke of the war, he used swords and strategies to defeat the heroes; after Huang Paojia's death, he used iron fists and suspicion to create totalitarian power. This book tears apart the labels of history books and reveals the blood and loneliness of power with the pen of an emperor - how to glimpse destiny in the dust, and how to become a loner at the top of imperial power? Every word is the Hongwu Emperor's ultimate confession about fate, killing and prosperity.
