He wakes up to discover that he has become Zhu Xiongying, the beloved eldest grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and a top medical student in his past life. Before he can enjoy the privileges of imperial nobility, a terrifying memory surfaces: in history, Zhu Xiongying died young at the age of eight!
Even worse, he quickly realizes that the “tonic” he takes every day contains a slow-acting poison. The mastermind is none other than Zhu Di, the Prince of Yan, who will later rebel! Thus begins the collision between a modern soul and ancient political intrigue.
Using his modern medical knowledge, he secretly works to restore his health. With his knowledge of chemistry, he exposes one poisoning plot after another. And with his knowledge of history, he begins laying plans before his grandfather, Zhu Yuanzhang. From improving weapons and cultivating high-yield crops to building an intelligence network and reforming the tax system, he gradually overturns his doomed fate and builds up political capital.
When Zhu Di finally can no longer hold back and moves against him, this seemingly young and naïve imperial grandson has already laid a vast, inescapable trap. “Fourth Uncle, you think I'm on the first level, but I'm actually on the fifth.” See how a transmigrator navigates the Ming bureaucracy, rewrites history, and creates a glorious Ming Dynasty unlike any other!
