Zhu Zhen, a student of modern history, accidentally traveled to the Hongwu period and became a poor refugee.
Relying on his insight into the history of the Ming Dynasty and his talents, he survived from a desperate situation and stepped into the court step by step. He struggled to gain a foothold amidst Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion and the scheming of the nobles of the family. He even changed his fate against fate and saved Empress Ma, Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying. He eventually became the most powerful chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, rewriting the bloody fate of the Hongwu Dynasty.
