After a car accident on a rainy night, modern history enthusiast Li Ming traveled back in time to the troubled times of the late Yuan Dynasty and became Zhu Yuanzhang's twin brother, Zhu Xinglong.
A seventeen-year-old youth awakened with 21st century military strategies, agricultural technology, basic medicine and intelligence thinking. When he opened his eyes, he saw famine and war. His parents died young, and the two brothers depended on each other: Zhu Xingzong (Zhu Yuanzhang) was resolute, courageous, and ambitious; Zhu Xinglong was calm, rational, and secretive.
Starting out as a beggar, he joined the Red Scarf Army, and brothers fought side by side: establishing a foothold in Haozhou, ruling the roost at Jiqing, decisive battle at Poyang Lake, and the Northern Expedition to Dadu, rewriting the trajectory of history along the way. Zhu Xinglong used modern knowledge to improve logistics, design ambushes, promote crop rotation, and establish an intelligence network, but he was always careful to hide his "secrets" to avoid being regarded as a monster.
When Emperor Hongwu came to the throne, the Lan Yu case and the Hu Weiyong case broke out one after another. The suspicion between brothers, the purge of heroes, and the emperor's loneliness gradually emerged. Can Zhu Xinglong preserve his honor and protect his friendship? Can we leave the mark of those who have traveled through history?
This is a history of brotherly counterattacks intertwined with bloody conquests and cruel machinations. It is also a profound game about power, human nature and history.
When two dragons rise together, the world can look forward to it - under the emperor's legacy, can brotherhood last forever?
