I Transmigrated into the Ming Dynasty and Became Crown Prince Zhu Biao

A modern soul awakens, and I find myself transmigrated into the body of Zhu Biao, Crown Prince of the Ming dynasty. Looking at my father, Zhu Yuanzhang, a man of great ambition but also deep suspicion, I remember the history books: after my early death, Father slaughtered his meritorious officials on a massive scale, and the Jingnan Rebellion plunged the land into flames. I break into a cold sweat.

As the safest heir to the throne, I have both my father's wholehearted guidance and the support of the court's civil and military officials. But how can my reputation for benevolence protect the foundations of the Ming dynasty?

So, while acting as regent, I secretly plant spies, concealing thunderous measures beneath a mild and accommodating facade. When advising Father, I no longer prattle about "offending Heaven's harmony." Instead, I offer practical plans to secure a chance of survival and save pillars of the court like Song Lian. Facing the headstrong Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, I use both kindness and authority to crush his ambitions. When I tour the Guanzhong region, I also nurse my health back to strength and return with comprehensive plans for moving the capital and defending the borders.

In this life, I will not only survive, but also unite the iron-fisted rule and benevolent governance of the Hongwu era, ensure the Jingnan flames never ignite, and protect the Ming realm for generations to come!
