[Feel-good power fantasy + Ming Dynasty + unresolved regrets + ruthless and decisive + one heroine]
After transmigrating to the Hongwu era, Zhu Yunwen became the Ming imperial grandson and activated a Heaven’s Gate System from the start, one that connected two different eras.
Beyond the gate lay a decaying Ming Dynasty, destined to sink into ruin two hundred years later!
The rebel king was besieging the capital, the Jurchens were about to breach the passes, and the powerful gentry cared only for their own interests. The Chongzhen Emperor would hang himself on Coal Hill, and the Ming realm would fall into enemy hands!
With the empire on the brink of collapse, Zhu Yunwen made a decision that shook the world: he would hand the Heaven’s Gate over to the state and present it to his imperial grandfather, the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, who had founded the Ming Dynasty!
When the common-born emperor Zhu Yuanzhang saw “The Feast of Fortune and Prosperity” and “The Donglin Faction’s List of Appointments” in the memorial, his killing intent surged. “How could these worthless descendants and corrupt officials have brought my realm and my people to this? I’m going to see for myself!”
Lan Yu would lead the army, with Xu Da as his general, while Chang Yuchun’s cavalry thundered across time! The battle-hardened generals who had helped Old Zhu conquer the realm, leading a million elite troops that had swept away the Mongol Yuan, descended upon the late Ming!
Within the empire, corrupt officials would be skinned alive and lawless gentry clans executed to the last; beyond its borders, the rebels would be slaughtered and the Jurchens crushed. Wherever the sun and moon shone would be Han territory!
Just as they finished cutting their way through the chaos, a report on the Tumu Crisis arrived.
Looking at the captured Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Yuanzhang trembled with rage. “Useless! How could an emperor of the Ming be captured by barbarians? Guards, bring this Zhu Qizhen to me in chains! I’ll teach him myself what it means for the Son of Heaven to guard the gates of the realm!”
When will you take Zhu Yuanzhang to Yongle Dynasty?
