I Transmigrate Into a Down-and-Out Prince in the Late Ming

Chen Mo is a grassroots official who has spent ten years working on poverty alleviation in the county.

One day, he sees a student run a red light. He rushes over and pulls them back, but fails to get out of the way himself and is hit by a bus.

When he opens his eyes again, he has become Zhu Changying, Prince Xiang of the Great Ming Dynasty. He is a ninth-generation descendant of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, with his fief in Xiangyang. It sounds impressive, but he is so poor that the rice jar is almost empty. The court has withheld his stipend for two years, all the servants have fled, and only an old retainer, a maid, and a barren old hen remain. The Imperial Clan Court also comes by every few days to demand repayment of his unpaid stipend.

He carries two sets of memories in his mind. One tells him that next year will be the first year of Chongzhen's reign, and the Great Ming has only seventeen years left. The other tells him that this impoverished prince lived his whole life without accomplishing a thing.

But that was before.

Someone else now inhabits this body.
