My Father Zhu Di Has Come Back from the Dead

[No System + Historical Intrigue + Two Powerful Rivals + Plot Twists + Yongle-Era Turmoil]

A “Yongle Tongbao” coin unearthed from the protagonist's tomb bears a QR code. Scanning it reveals a message in English: “Game Over, Winner.”

In the twenty-second year of the Yongle era, modern archaeologist Zhao Yan transmigrates into the body of Zhu Gaoxu, the Yongle Emperor's second son, only to discover that the history books are full of lies.

Zhu Di, supposedly dead of illness at Yumu River, has left a bloody edict in his coffin: “I faked my death. Quickly purge the court of traitors!”

Zhao Yan sneers. “Father, what a fine performance. But how about I change the rules of the throne before you get back?”

He marches on the capital with his troops, only to be caught up in a series of deadly plots:

The Crown Prince, acting as regent, dies suddenly. His third brother vanishes. The Oirat press at the border...

More unnerving still, at midnight, a knocking comes from the imperial tomb's coffin: “You unfilial son, does my dragon robe fit you?”

“A historical archaeologist's predictions” versus “the Yongle Emperor's thousand-year game.” Father and son scheme against each other, but who is truly moving the pieces?
