He transmigrates into Zhu Yuanzhang’s second son, Zhu Shuang, just as Crown Prince Zhu Biao dies suddenly!
With the suspicious old emperor killing meritorious officials on one side and Zhu Di eyeing the throne on the other, Zhu Shuang looks at his System, the “Master of a Thousand Faces” Acting System, and decides on the spot to put on a show to save his life!
At the mourning hall in the Hall of Heavenly Favor, he wears a white mourning headband and carries a coffin into the hall. “Your son is willing to be buried with his elder brother!”
He knocks his head until it bleeds and weeps as though his heart is breaking.
Facing Zhu Yunwen, he beats his chest and promises to protect him: “Your second uncle will look after you from now on!” Then he turns around and plots to use the campaign to reduce the fiefs to eliminate the princes.
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang, he acts mad and foolish, proclaiming his filial devotion: “Your son only wants to watch over his elder brother’s tomb!” Then he turns around and uses a physique-enhancing serum to train in martial arts.
The old emperor thinks his second son is a foolish, grief-stricken idiot. Zhu Di thinks his second brother is no threat. Zhu Yunwen thinks his second uncle is his greatest supporter.
Looking at the screenful of rewards from the System, Zhu Shuang sneers: “Sorry, you can sit on the throne, but so can I!”
