Great Ming: Secretly Pocketing a Little Extra Behind Old Zhu's Back

Chu Jinghong transmigrates to the second year of the Hongwu era and awakens to find himself bound to the King of Hell's Wealth Management System.

The rules are outrageous: all the ill-gotten gains he makes in the Great Ming will be converted into modern legal assets at a one-to-one rate after he dies!

The death bonus is even more thrilling: the more gruesome his death, the higher the payout.

Skinning pays ten times, waist-cutting twenty times, and death by a thousand cuts starts at a hundred times!

After he dies, the bank deposits the money in the middle of the night, completely tax-free!

Chu Jinghong stares at the System's prompt, his breath catching:

“You want me to make money while the Great Ming is in the middle of an anti-corruption crackdown? Ever heard of skinning and stuffing someone with straw? Want to try sitting in a chair upholstered with human skin?”

“Wait!”

“The more gruesome the death, the more I earn?”

“This isn't a System. It's a wealth management product from the King of Hell!”

Chu Jinghong: “Other people transmigrate to make a name for themselves. I transmigrated to focus on ‘wealth management’, though this investment strategy does cost me my life!”

Chu Jinghong: “Your Majesty, I really am outrageously corrupt! Please have me executed by a thousand cuts!”

Zhu Yuanzhang, smiling warmly: “My dear subject, you jest. I hereby promote you to imperial commissioner. Continue to ‘shine and serve’ the Great Ming.”

Chu Jinghong: “Why isn't Old Zhu following the script?!”
