Hao Jian used to be a self-media blogger. By chance, a livestream where he told an unofficial tale about Zhu Yuanzhang selling hooks went viral!
He was about to live the dream, with a Rolex on his left wrist and a beauty in his right arm.
Who knew he'd transmigrate to the Ming dynasty and become a seventh-rank censor? To get back home, he goes all out with his remonstrations, even courting death!
“Zhu Chongba, you kept making Crown Prince Zhu Biao work himself to the bone reviewing memorials. That's why he died of illness!”
“Zhu Chongba, if you make Zhu Yunwen heir to the throne, your fourth son will end up taking the Ming empire for himself!”
After all his relentless efforts, he thinks Zhu Yuanzhang is about to have him executed and that he'll soon return to a happy life!
But Old Zhu unexpectedly gets his hands on several history books about the Ming dynasty. After reading them, he not only spares Shi Yue, but even promotes him.
“Hao Jian, you're right. I'll make you vice censor-in-chief. Keep giving me good advice from now on!”
Hao Jian doesn't know what to make of that!
From then on, he becomes Old Zhu's top workhorse and a pillar of the Ming dynasty!
