Good news: My name is Lu Li. I transmigrated to the Ming Dynasty and became the emperor's most trusted lackey.
As commander of the Imperial Guards, I wield immense power, and everyone fears me.
Bad news: Every time I confiscate the property of corrupt officials, I can't help feeling sorry for them.
So I secretly stash their families away in my hidden estate.
Even worse news: All my good deeds are being broadcast on the sky screen to Zhu Yuanzhang, who just finished killing Hu Weiyong!
Lu Li thought he'd spend this life as a cold-faced King of Hell, serving the Zhu family like a dog.
On the side, he would save those poor women and enjoy a happy life surrounded by married women.
Unfortunately, the sky screen doesn't understand his good intentions.
He'd barely moved Yan Song's family when the sky screen zoomed right in on them.
Watching the former minister's family, all elegant and captivating, fill the screen, Zhu Yuanzhang was so furious he flipped the table:
So, Lu Li! I sent you to confiscate their property, and you took the whole lot for yourself?
Are these my Imperial Guards or your harem?
Lu Li wanted to keep a low profile, but the sky screen kept turning up the heat, and started taking stock of the treasures in his estate.
