Great Ming: The Demon Monk in a Chaotic Age

I transmigrated to the early Ming dynasty and became Yao Guangxiao, a "demon monk" destined to set the world ablaze. Now that I'm in this game, I'll make the sun and moon turn at my command! With the words, "I offer Your Highness a white hat," I stake everything on Zhu Di, making the world a chessboard and all living beings its pieces.

As the flames of the Jingnan Campaign spread, I devise every move and leave nothing to chance, using ruthless methods to put him on the throne. At court, however, I refuse to return to secular life or accept high rank, content to remain the "black-robed chancellor." With one hand, I help advance the grand vision of the Yongle Encyclopedia, the move of the capital to Beiping, and seven voyages to the Western Seas. With the other, I endure the soul-devouring torment of Fang Xiaoru's blood.

With a modern soul, I contend with the ancient imperial court, walking the line between Buddhist compassion and demonic ways. When everything has settled, I finally realize: did I create a glorious age of prosperity, or a cage from which I myself cannot escape? The name "demon monk of a chaotic age" is both my fate and my choice.
