Zhu Zheng transmigrates to the Ming Dynasty as the Sixth Prince. After lying low for ten years, he is framed for corruption by the Crown Prince's tutor, Huang Zicheng, and a clique of civil officials.
At court, the old emperor flies into a rage and draws his sword, Empress Ma is heartbroken, his eldest brother the Crown Prince feigns benevolence, and the assembled officials pile on, driving him to the brink.
Faced with his family's distrust, Zhu Zheng flips the imperial desk on the spot and cuts off his ties with them: “I'm done being the punching-bag prince! From now on, we're strangers!”
He turns around and binds himself to the [Short-Fused, Unhinged System]. In a fit of pique, the old emperor demotes Zhu Zheng to a seventh-rank supervisory censor.
From then on, the Ming court has a lawless living King of Hell in its midst!
The civil officials want to reason with him?
He gives them a lesson in physics!
He wields his court tablet like a brick and starts by smashing the heads of the gathered nobles at court!
Corrupt officials beg for mercy?
He executes first and reports later! He leads the Jinyiwei in violent raids, leaving heads rolling everywhere!
When Zhu Zheng's short-tempered rampage has the entire civil bureaucracy trembling and the officials kneeling in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, weeping and begging for their lives,
Old Zhu looks at the mountains of confiscated silver and rushes out of the palace in tears in the middle of the night. “Sixth Son, your father was wrong. Please come back and inherit the Ming Empire!”
Zhu Zheng gives a cold laugh and swings his bloodstained court tablet. “Get lost. Don't get in the way of my hands-on law enforcement!”
