Chu Sheng, an ordinary modern young man, accidentally traveled to Nanjing in the thirteenth year of Hongwu. When he woke up, he was wearing jeans and a white T-shirt. He was incompatible with the ancient people in broad robes and big sleeves around him, and he fell into a desperate situation with no identity and no support. Just when he was on the verge of despair, the god-level selection system was bound, and three paths of life and death were before him. He made a desperate move and chose to break into the Ming Palace and confess to Zhu Yuanzhang his secret from seven hundred years later.
With the help of his mobile phone, Chu Sheng shocked the civil and military officials of the court with his light and shadow pictures, but it was still difficult to dispel Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts and murderous intentions. Facing the iron-blooded emperor who counterattacked from a beggar, and facing the doubts and hostility of the ministers of the dynasty, Chu Sheng risked his life and revealed the shocking secret of the thirteen years of Hongwu - Hu Weiyong's rebellion. A game of life and death begins. Can he win Zhu Yuanzhang's trust with his fragmentary memory of history, bind the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty, and survive the murderous Hongwu Dynasty?
