I Am Zhu Youjian! Using Simulations to Make the Great Ming Great Again

In the seventh year of the Tianqi reign, the emperor died.

Zhu Youjian ascended the throne.

At that moment, the eunuch faction led by Wei Zhongxian held power over the court, while the Donglin Party sharpened its claws outside the palace.

Then, at midnight, a scroll titled the [Mandate of Heaven Life Simulator] unfurled in his mind:

[You may simulate a life path once each day. The simulation ends when the Host dies.]

On the first night, he watched himself govern diligently for seventeen years, only to hang himself at Coal Hill, his final edict stained with blood.

The second night, the third night...

After countless simulations, Zhu Youjian traced a red line across the world map:

“In this life, I will not only defend the Great Ming.”

“I will make every land touched by sun and moon Han territory!”

And at the top of the History of the Chongzhen Reign, the court historian tremblingly recorded:

“On the night before his accession, the emperor suddenly gained communion with spirits. From then on, he foresaw events with divine accuracy.”
