Zhu Tie once thought the lowest point in life was losing everything in the pandemic, being crushed by debt, and suffering the piercing pain of his beloved wife leaving him and taking him to court. For his children, he gave up everything and struggled through five years of hardship, surviving only on help from family.
One drunken night and one desperate gamble brought him the most absurd compensation fate could offer: a thirty-yuan lottery ticket that won him a fortune worth billions. In the wake of his euphoria, he paid off his debts and left his vast fortune to his elderly father. Then, feeling as though everything had been drained from him, he fell into a deep sleep beneath the walls of an ancient city.
When he opens his eyes again, beacons blaze across the sky and battle cries ring in his ears! He is no longer the modern-day Zhu Tie, down on his luck and defeated. Before him stand the smoke-shrouded walls of Beiping, and on his body rests a heavy imperial robe of bright yellow. Confused memories tell him something shocking: he is Zhu Gaochi, Emperor Renzong of Ming! And now, in the most perilous moment of the Jingnan Campaign, Li Jinglong, a general of the Jianwen Emperor, has arrived at the city with an army of five hundred thousand! Beiping is nearly defenseless, and the Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, is far away beyond the frontier. The only one left to defend the city is him, the disabled, overweight heir to the Prince of Yan, whom no one believes in!
On one side is the searing pain of a broken family and a cruel world, memories from his modern life. On the other is the catastrophe of a city falling and its people dying amid the flashing blades of an ancient battlefield. From billionaire to the heir defending a besieged city, fate has pushed him to the edge once again.
But this time, he is no longer the helpless Zhu Tie. He is Zhu Gaochi! A complex fusion of a modern soldier’s resilience and the bloodline of the Ming imperial family. This is the day he turns the tide! Watch as a modern soul who has endured life’s highest highs and lowest lows kindles the “Hongxi Golden Age” of his own.
It's beautiful and the characters are all humorous 👍
The structure is okay, except for the fantasy part, and the politics are immature.
The writing is really beautiful, come on, come on, come on
It's very nice. There's no gold finger system or anything like that. It's just a storage ring, which is a bonus for time travel.
