In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, not long after Empress Ma’s death, Zhu Yuanzhang is at his most violent and bloodthirsty. With the Lan Yu case looming, everyone at court is on edge.
Gu Qing appears to be an unremarkable junior officer in the Northern Branch of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but in truth, he has transmigrated. Cynical and sharp-tongued, he loves flirting with disaster, yet always manages to talk Zhu Yuanzhang around with specious arguments. The protagonist possesses the National Fortune Correction System, which lets him see the “historical fate” and “fortune trajectory” above everyone’s head. He cannot directly harm the emperor, so he can only change decisions at pivotal historical moments to harvest “national fortune points” to keep himself alive or exchange them for skills.
