“Where's my money?” “Father, it's all in Grand Secretary Yan's sedan, and on my... ships.”
In the fortieth year of the Jiajing reign, the Ming Empire was on the verge of collapse. Mongol cavalry threatened the northern passes, the Yan faction controlled the court, and Japanese pirates ravaged the southern lands. Meanwhile, the empire's supreme ruler, Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houcong, hid away in the Western Garden refining elixirs and cultivating immortality. He hadn't attended court in twenty years and even hoped to outlive all his sons.
A modern financial tycoon transmigrates into the body of Zhu Zaihou, the Prince of Yu. Faced with this nightmare from the start, he knows exactly what he must do: in the deadly Western Garden, survival depends on his acting skills!
A contest of political maneuvering? He exploits Jiajing's paranoia to manipulate Yan Song and his son, leading the Yan faction to dig its own grave! Making money? He bypasses the Ministry of Revenue, builds an invincible imperial fleet, monopolizes global trade, and gets the King of Spain working for him! Governing the country? He keeps Xu Jie's subtle machinations in check with one hand and reins in Gao Gong's aggression with the other, while a young man named Zhang Juzheng stands behind him!
When Jiajing finally dies, leaving behind the words, “Take care of yourself,” Zhu Zaihou wipes away his fake tears, sits on the dragon throne, and looks at a world dotted with Ming dragon banners on the map. “Father, go enjoy cultivating immortality in peace. Your son has won you this empire on which the sun never sets!”
