Reforging Fate: From a Jianwen Imperial Grandson to the New Emperor of the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Zunming, a low-ranking official at the National Development and Reform Commission, dies from overwork, only to transmigrate into the body of the last grandson of the Jianwen Emperor, who fled to the Southern Seas! From the start, he's on hell difficulty: Portuguese gunship fleets blockade the Strait of Malacca, native pirates are sharpening their blades, the old and the weak are demoralized, and their food will run out in three days!

At the brink of despair, the “bureaucrat's brain” honed by his former life in government unexpectedly awakens!

He has no System and knows no martial arts. His only golden finger is an instinctive knack for turning every problem into a “project”!

Not enough food? First, get started on the “Implementation Plan for Inventorying and Redistributing Food Resources in an Emergency”!

People aren't united? Convene the “Mobilization Meeting on Unifying Our Thinking and Defining Phase One Development Goals for the Lanfang Pioneering Company” right away!

The enemy is too strong? Write the “Feasibility Analysis of the Portuguese Fleet's Strengths and Weaknesses and Our Asymmetric Warfare Strategy” overnight!

He evaluates generals with KPIs, incentivizes overseas Chinese leaders with equity, and develops his base with five-year plans.

While European colonizers are still fighting to the death over the profit from a single crate of spices, Zhu Zunming has already set his sights on the Forbidden City, armed with his first “Feasibility Report on Returning to the Great Ming and Transferring Imperial Power”!

When modern management theory clashes with ancient imperial authority, can he use institutions and processes to build a super-empire that will never decay?
