Judy, a top student in the Department of Modern History, accidentally traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and when she woke up, she found that she was Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty! What's even more bizarre is that his consciousness gradually merged with Zhu Di's memory. The originally resolute and cold emperor's character was quietly mixed with the rationality and enlightenment of modern people.
Faced with the undercurrent of Jianwen's old ministers, the threat from northern Mongolia, and the deep-rooted conservative forces in the court, Zhu Di had to deal with them as Zhu Di. While maintaining the majesty of the emperor, he quietly implemented new policies: reforming the imperial examinations, supporting industry and commerce, preparing for the construction of an ocean-going fleet, and even secretly promoting ideological emancipation...
However, the inertia of history and the counterattacks of vested interests followed one after another. Judy must find a balance between imperial power and change. If she is not careful, she will be doomed.
This is a fierce collision between ancient emperors and modern souls, and it is also a gamble to reshape the destiny of the Ming Dynasty. When the morning bell of the Forbidden City rings again, where will this new Yongle Emperor lead China?
