I, Wang Ming, a modern social animal, died suddenly after working overtime and was reborn as a six-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang.
At the beginning, both parents died, and he survived by chewing tree bark and grabbing mold cakes. Working as the lowest novice monk in Huangjue Temple, his food rations were withheld and he was bullied wantonly. In troubled times, people are like grass and grass.
I know history: I will join the Red Scarf Army, defeat Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, expel the Mongolian Yuan in the Northern Expedition, and eventually ascend the throne as emperor and create the Ming Dynasty.
However, that was Zhu Yuanzhang's path in history.
And I am Wang Ming - the ordinary person who is submissive in the office and dare not even leave a negative review for takeout.
I'm afraid of blood, I'm afraid of killing, and I hate machinations.
But troubled times don't give me a choice. When I smashed other people's heads for half a piece of cake, when I learned to kill with a borrowed knife in the temple conflict, when I witnessed hungry people exchanging their sons for food, and their bones exposed in the wild...
That meek "Wang Ming" is dying.
A colder, clearer, and more complex soul opened its eyes in the mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
I want to live.
Not as a symbol in history books, but as "me".
From starvation to novice monk, from soldier to commander-in-chief, from King Wu to emperor.
Along the way, I will use modern thinking to deconstruct the rules of troubled times; use the caution of the humble to control the ambition of the heroes.
But when I finally sat on the dragon throne and looked down at the kneeling civil and military officials——
Under the dragon robe, what I touched was Wang Ming's trembling original intention or Zhu Yuanzhang's cold authority?
I overthrew a decadent dynasty, only to find myself becoming the new yoke.
On this path of defying fate and changing one's destiny, is the end point to escape from destiny, or to become destiny itself?
