Hongwu Returns: My Empire of Sun and Moon

Zhu Yuan, a graduate student in history, awakens one day to find he has become the newly deceased Ming Taizu, Zhu Yuanzhang! It is the fourth year of the Jianwen reign. Prince of Yan Zhu Di's army is at the gates, and the people of Nanjing are gripped by the dread of doomsday.

On one side is his indecisive grandson, the Jianwen Emperor. On the other is his rebellious son Zhu Di, whose forces are riding high and who claims he means to “cleanse the court of corrupt officials.” Faced with this deadly family feud, Zhu Yuanzhang, his aging body now inhabited by a modern soul, lets out a thunderous roar: “No one takes my empire from me!”

Returned from the dead in another man's body, he seizes control once more. With the foresight to steer events and modern knowledge to outclass his rivals, he improves firearms, reforms the economy, and opens maritime trade. While stabilizing the court, he also sets about teaching his two “problem children” how to behave.

Zhu Di is dumbfounded: How did his supposedly weak nephew become his unfathomable father? Zhu Yunwen is equally stunned: Why are Grandfather's lessons so... unorthodox?

Watch as a new Zhu Yuanzhang, combining modern wisdom with Hongwu-era iron-fisted rule, breaks through the family and political deadlock and personally ushers in a brighter era beyond anyone's imagination!
