Great Ming: From the Start, You Make Me Provoke Empress Ma

[An immensely satisfying read, hilarious, endlessly reckless, a master of playing it safe, farming, a partially fictionalized Great Ming, no-brainer fun]

Lin Xiaofan transmigrates to the Great Ming and becomes the eight-year-old Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

The Old Zhu is so poor while fighting on the front lines that he has to eat dirt, while Empress Ma leads by example at home, wearing patched clothes.

But Lin Xiaofan awakens the [Spendthrift Favorite Child System]!

As long as he outspends Empress Ma and flaunts his wealth more outrageously than she does, he can gain more life and limitless riches!

Empress Ma: “Biao’er, I’ve sewn you a shirt with patches. It’s meant to remind us of hardship and teach us to cherish the good times.”

Zhu Biao pulls out a hundred thousand taels of gold. “Mother, stop sewing. I just bought all twelve embroidery workshops in Jiangnan. From now on, even our dogs will wear Shu brocade!”

Empress Ma is furious and sends a message to the Old Zhu: “Our rebellious son is wasting the family fortune. Come back at once!”

The Old Zhu rushes back to Nanjing with a knife in hand, only to see Zhu Biao paving the roads with banknotes and building pigsties out of gold bricks.

Even more outrageous, Zhu Biao throws money around so freely that he buys off Chen Youliang’s entire army!

The Old Zhu drops his knife and throws his arms around Zhu Biao. “My wonderful son! You’re not just your father’s pride and joy, you’re the God of Wealth of the Great Ming! My dear, from now on, Biao’er is in charge of the household. Don’t interfere!”

Empress Ma: “??? How am I supposed to live like this!”
