The Sky Screen's Roll Call: Stories of the Ming Dynasty

[Historical Transmigration + Sky Screen Variety Show + System-Based + Wish Fulfillment + No Romance]

In the sixth year of Hongwu, the eighth year since the founding of the Ming dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was at his wits' end over the question of moving the capital.

One day, a golden light split the heavens, and a gigantic "sky screen" stretched across the sky. Four large characters appeared on it:

The Ming Dynasty's King of Gossip!

The sky screen called itself the "Heavenly Secrets Quiz System" and announced a competition to test everyone's knowledge of "the most explosive historical truths of the Ming dynasty." Each question would have four choices, but only the sky screen knew the answer.

Participants: Zhu Yuanzhang, Empress Ma, Zhu Biao, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Xu Da, Lan Yu...

The first question appeared, and the whole court gasped:

"In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, an earth-shattering event will take place in the Ming dynasty. What will it be?"

A. Crown Prince Zhu Biao encounters an immortal while inspecting Xi'an, then ascends to heaven and becomes one himself

B. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly abdicates and travels the world in search of the elixir of immortality

C. Zhu Biao dies of a chill, Zhu Yuanzhang weeps bitterly, and Zhu Yunwen is named crown grandson

D. Lan Yu rebels, and Zhu Yuanzhang executes his entire clan

Zhu Yuanzhang slammed his hand on the dragon throne. "Nonsense! Biao is perfectly fine. How could he possibly die!"

Li Shanchang broke out in a cold sweat. "Your Majesty... That's only the sky screen's question. It hasn't revealed the answer yet..."

And so Zhu Yuanzhang began his daily descent into despair, as the sky screen kept "spoiling" the future while he dared not believe it.
