Name: I Am Hongwu, Rebuilding the Great Ming at the End of Chongzhen’s Reign!
Author: User88424615

Synopsis

In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes.

When he opened them again, he was “standing” in the shadows of the Qianqing Palace.

Before him stood a gaunt emperor, trembling as he faced a map. Liaodong was stained red, and fires of war blazed across the Central Plains.

“Your Majesty, Sun Chuanting… is still being held in the imperial prison,” the old eunuch stammered.

Chongzhen said nothing. He simply traced the characters for “Kaifeng” over and over with his finger.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood at once: this was his Ming dynasty, and it was on the verge of collapse.

He wanted to roar, but no sound came out. He tried to pound the table, but his hand passed right through it.

Then Chongzhen murmured, “If the Great Ancestor were still alive…”

A hum

Golden light burst inside Zhu Yuanzhang’s mind.

That night, Chongzhen dreamed for the first time of a figure wearing an old dragon robe.

The figure said, “Release Sun Chuanting.”

Chongzhen jolted awake, drenched in cold sweat.

Thunder boomed outside. In Fengxian Hall, the eyes in the portrait of the Great Ancestor… seemed to gleam for an instant.

My Favorite Historical Novel on Tomato Novel

I'm looking for books like Taking Another Name in Langya. Transmigration isn't a dinner party; it's a deadly game at every turn. The plot should be vivid and interesting, with side characters who are smart. The protagonist should slaughter their way through life-or-death situations. It should be historically accurate, with a natural romance.
