Great Ming: I Told Fortunes, and Zhu Yuanzhang Caught Me Red-Handed

I transmigrate to the Ming Dynasty and become Zhu Yuanzhang’s fifth son, Zhu Su.

With a ruthless father above me and my ambitious fourth brother, Zhu Di, below, the imperial family is a high-risk occupation. I just want to keep my head down and stay alive.

By chance, I bind a Heavenly Secrets Divination System. To activate it, I disguise myself as a blind fortune-teller and take to the streets.

On a whim, I read the fortune of a noblewoman:

“Your future husband is the Prince of Yan. One day, he’ll raise an army to quell a rebellion, and uncle and nephew will turn against each other, plunging the realm into chaos! Whatever you do, don’t marry into the imperial family!”

I think I’m just making things up and head back to my residence to slack off.

But a few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang issues an edict betrothing Xu Miaoyun, daughter of Xu Da, to the Prince of Yan!

In the great hall, Xu Miaoyun directly defies the edict:

“Your Majesty! A Daoist revealed the secrets of Heaven. The Prince of Yan will rebel! I’d rather die than marry him!”

The Imperial Guards drag me straight to the Hall of Divine Fulfillment.

Zhu Yuanzhang roars, “What kind of demonic charlatan dares curse my Ming Dynasty? Take off the blindfold!”

The blindfold is ripped away...

Silence falls over the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes widen. “Zhu Su?! How can it be you?!”

I’m numb with shock. “Father, I was really just doing a bit of fieldwork...”

From then on, the Ming Dynasty goes completely off the rails.

Zhu Yuanzhang: “Fifth son, hurry and make another prediction! How can Biao survive? I’ll even give you the throne!”

Xu Miaoyun: “Your Majesty, I humbly request that you betroth me to His Highness, the Prince of Wu!”

Zhu Di: “Fifth Brother, stop predicting! If you keep it up, I really won’t have a future!”

Me: “...I really just want to be a carefree, idle prince!” This book needs to be published on Tomato Novel. Give me tags for it.
