The Great Ming’s Son-in-Law: From the Start, I Save Zhu Yuanzhang

Modern office drone Yang Mo wakes up during the Hongwu era as the son-in-law of the wealthy Shen family in Jinling. The family looks down on him as “dim-witted” and treats him like a tool. Just as Zhu Yuanzhang strengthens imperial authority and cracks down on powerful clans, the Shen family gets caught up in the fringes of the Blank Seal Case due to its muddled accounts. Disaster looms. To protect himself, Yang Mo finally steps in after lying low for half a year. He sorts out the books in a single night and then presents the idea of “donating assets to fund the military” along with his astonishing “National Debt Plan,” unexpectedly catching the emperor's eye. From then on, he is forced to become an invisible blade in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, treading carefully through the historical whirlpools of the Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu cases. He improves looms, reforms the postal stations, and tutors the imperial grandsons, using modern knowledge to guide the Ming dynasty down a different path. From a son-in-law scorned by all to an emperor's tutor working behind the scenes, how will Yang Mo protect his family and fulfill his ambitions under the suspicious Zhu Yuanzhang, then retire after achieving success and single-handedly save the empire?
