After being born into the imperial house of the Ming dynasty, Zhu Shou had no time to celebrate before discovering that he was the eldest son born to a concubine of the prematurely deceased Crown Prince Yiwen.
Worse still, his birth mother was implicated in the Hu Weiyong case, and his maternal grandfather had just been executed.
The entire Eastern Palace saw him as a threat, and even his own father, Zhu Biao, avoided him.
Looking at Zhu Xiongying, who was about to die young according to history, and the birth mother of Zhu Yunwen, who would soon be confined until her death,
then thinking about his own future, Zhu Shou silently rolled up his sleeves.
Going crazy sounds great! The Hongwu Emperor could use a grandson who knows how to stir things up!
A glass mirror? No, it’s a demon-revealing mirror from an immortal island overseas!
A world map? Wrong, it’s a map of the realm bestowed by the Grand Ancestor in a dream!
Years later, as Zhu Shou stands atop the Forbidden City and looks at the Yongle Emperor he has led astray,
he can’t help but ponder: I was supposed to keep a low profile and survive. How did I end up changing the whole direction of the Ming dynasty? There is a female lead, but she appears relatively late.
