The Crown Prince Is Captured? Then I, His Younger Brother, Will Take the Throne!

Zhu Qizheng woke up to discover that he had become the most carefree prince in the Ming dynasty.

But then came the Tumu Crisis. The Ming's elite forces were wiped out, his elder brother was captured, and the court fell into turmoil.

A prince everyone had written off as a lazy good-for-nothing was forced into the eye of the storm.

He refused. He dodged. He even wanted to flee to Nanjing in the middle of the night!

Then the System bound itself to him by force:

[The Eternal Emperor System has activated. Ascend the throne as soon as possible.]

Yu Qian saw through him, the Empress Dowager trusted him, and even the Imperial Seal appeared from the flames for his sake.

So he “reluctantly” took the throne and, with the System's help and his modern knowledge,

dragged the crumbling Ming back onto the right track, extending its reign by hundreds of years!
