I was reborn as Zhu Yuanzhang’s father and bound to a System. As long as I stopped my son from becoming emperor, I could ascend to immortality.
So I diligently sabotaged everything, doing my best to stamp out every one of his ambitions.
Watching him get dragged down by me until his family was ruined and he was destitute, I secretly rejoiced that my mission was nearly complete.
But one day, heavy snow blocked the mountain passes, and our whole family was on the brink of death when Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly grasped the secrets of heaven and ascended on the spot.
What left me even more dumbfounded was that with a casual gesture, he elevated our entire family, along with the whole village, to immortality.
Watching this unlucky kid go from a revered immortal to ruler of the world, I couldn’t help but wonder:
“System, did you get the mission objective backwards?”
