History student Lin Mo pulls an all-nighter and dies suddenly. When he wakes up, he has become Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the Ming dynasty in the eleventh year of Hongwu.
As he lies dying from poisoning, a white-bearded immortal appears in a dream and says, “I grant you one immortal pill and a gateway to the immortal realm.”
When he wakes, he grabs Crown Prince Zhu Biao by the arm. “Father, I’m taking you somewhere.”
The next second, they are standing before the Meridian Gate of the Nanjing Imperial Palace.
Gazing up at the towering gate, Zhu Biao’s legs go weak. “Th-this is the imperial palace six hundred years in the future?”
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he sees tourists sitting on the Dragon Throne and taking pictures. His eyes widen in shock. “How can they take pictures on My Dragon Throne?”
Leaving a gift shop, Zhu Biao cradles a notebook titled “The Splendor of the Ming Dynasty.” “This is nice. I’ll take it back for my wife.”
Back at the palace, Zhu Biao tells Zhu Yuanzhang, “Father, Xiongying is an immortal reborn!”
Zhu Yuanzhang: ???
Only after visiting the Forbidden City himself and seeing an exhibit about the Jingnan Campaign does he turn to Zhu Xiongying and ask:
“What happened to Fourth Brother later on?”
From then on, the entire Ming dynasty begins to transmigrate.
Empress Ma: The coffee at the corner tower is delicious, and much more relaxing than the harem!
Zhu Yuntong: I could climb this artificial hill ten times!
Zhu Yunwen: Can I take The Forbidden City: Six Hundred Years back with me?
Meanwhile, Zhu Xiongying looks up ways to treat poison on his phone as he puzzles over what to do:
When will Hu Weiyong make his move? How can Zhu Biao’s health be improved? How can Fourth Brother’s ambition be kept in check?
The Forbidden City six hundred years in the future holds all the answers to rewriting the Ming dynasty.
I won't go into too much detail, except for some minor flaws, this book is still very good. Come on, author, finish writing this book! 😄
