Great Ming: Stop Spoiling the Plot, You’ll Make Me Die of Embarrassment!

[Absurd Punishments + Words Become Law + Comedy]

Zhou Yan transmigrates to the end of the Yuan dynasty and discovers that his golden finger is the [Spoilers Come True System]. As long as he spoils future history to someone, he gains the power to make his words come true. The catch is that the central figure he spoils, Zhu Yuanzhang, gets hit with all sorts of bizarre “spoiler punishments.”

“Old Zhu, you’ll be emperor one day!”

[Ding! Zhu Yuanzhang receives a punishment: For the next three days, every time he speaks, imperial dragon might will play as background music. It cannot be turned off.]

So even in the latrine, Zhu Yuanzhang comes with a “dun dun dun dun” soundtrack, while the whole army struggles not to laugh themselves sick.

“Old Zhu, Chen Youliang is going to chain his ships together!”

[Ding! Zhu Yuanzhang receives a punishment: For the next 24 hours, he must walk sideways like a crab.]

And so, on the eve of the decisive battle, the commander in chief directs the army with passionate gestures while shuffling sideways in front of the map. The scene is absolutely hilarious.

Zhou Yan becomes the person Zhu Yuanzhang loves and hates most. He loves how Zhou Yan always anticipates the enemy and turns danger into safety; he hates the humiliating punishments that come with every spoiler. Liu Bowen studies the stars one night and discovers an indescribable “comedian” aura circling the imperial star, leaving him utterly baffled. As Zhou Yan reveals more and more of the future, he gains the power to summon divine lightning and meteorites with a word, while Old Zhu gradually gets used to calmly commanding an army of thousands through punishments like “grass growing on his head” and “underwear worn on the outside.” After Zhu Yuanzhang ascends the throne, his first imperial edict is: “I hereby name Zhou Yan the Marquis of Shut Up. Unless the nation is in peril, he is forbidden to speak!”
