Hongwu's Grandson: From the Start, I Set the Great Ming on Its Course

Transmigrating as Zhu Xiongying, the legitimate eldest grandson of the Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and the legitimate son of Crown Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao, he changes his certain death from the start and prevents the tragedy of the Jingnan Campaign from happening again.

At twelve, he ascends the throne and personally takes charge of government. With an iron hand, he reforms the court, surveys the land and implements the Single Whip Law, controls the Yellow River and improves people's livelihoods, lifts the ban on maritime trade and promotes industry and commerce. He upgrades firearms to strengthen the army and secure the borders, quells pirates in the South Seas, defeats the Timurid Empire, and sends fleets on voyages around the world to expand the empire's maritime frontiers thousands of miles. Thus he ushers in the Yongxi Golden Age, far surpassing anything in history.

The plot moves at a brisk pace, packed with satisfying moments and vivid, multidimensional characters. It combines the careful maneuvering of imperial power struggles with passionate devotion to the country and its people. Perfectly suited for development as a 100-episode vertical-screen short drama, every episode delivers intense conflict and a gripping hook, taking you on a legendary journey with an emperor who rewrites the fate of the Ming dynasty.
