Transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty, Starting by Imprisoning the Old Zhu

I bear the most exalted name: Zhu Shuang.

I am the second legitimate son of the Ming dynasty’s founding emperor, Taizu, and the second legitimate son of Empress Xiaoci. I am the foremost of the nine frontier princes, and hold the same princely title as Li Shimin: Prince of Qin.

In all of the Ming dynasty, I am the most legitimate heir after my eldest brother, Zhu Biao.

But unlike Li Shimin, I did not have a father who would support me. I could only take a Mongol woman as my principal wife, putting an end to my dreams of becoming emperor.

I refuse to accept it. I will not give in. I will forge a different Ming dynasty, where the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers endure, and the Ming realm stands forever.
