My name is Li Hanxing. I'm doomed: my father is Li Jinglong, the founding Great Ming war god!
You old fool, you’re dragging your own son down! Not only are you taking in the Jianwen Emperor’s orphaned loyalists, you’re also secretly colluding with his supporters?
Li Jinglong, our father-son bond is over. I, Li Daniu, am getting out of here! Don’t ever let me see you again!
But despite everything, Li Hanxing still gets caught up in the chaos of the Ming court.
Suppressing the Japanese pirates, moving the capital to Beiping, marching into the northern deserts, pacifying Annam, crossing the Western Ocean, compiling the Yongle Encyclopedia...
With his great-uncle Zhu Di “pushing” him along, Li Hanxing finds himself drawn into one earth-shaking epic after another. Before long, he’s enjoying it, too.
Until the Yongle Emperor dies, and things quietly begin to change...
