A Different Great Ming, Beginning with Zhu Yunwen

I know how I’m going to die: four years from now, burned alive by my own uncle. Zhu Yunwen has transmigrated. He isn’t a glorious emperor, but the Jianwen Emperor from history, the one Zhu Di drove from the throne. He knows the Prince of Yan will rebel. He knows about the Jingnan Campaign. He knows he will perish in a sea of fire. Armed with the script of history, he sets out on a different path. Instead of stripping the vassal princes of their power, he first invites his uncles to the capital for tea. He establishes a cabinet, starts a newspaper, opens a bank, reforms the salt trade... and uses modern methods to transform the Ming Dynasty. Civil officials drop to their knees. The vassal princes slam their fists on the table. And someone is secretly weaving a web behind the scenes. Zhu Di sharpens his blades, while the Northern Yuan watches like a tiger stalking its prey. This time, he won’t be a sacrificial pawn. A different Jianwen, a different ending. This time, he’ll survive to the very end.
