Father, Don't Take Off Your Shoes! I'm Truly a Dutiful Son!

Lin Xiaofei, an overworked history grad, dies suddenly and wakes up as Zhu Biao, the crown prince of the Ming dynasty! The original Zhu Biao is thirteen, and is about to follow the same path to an early death!

At this critical moment, the [Strongest Defiance System] activates! He can grow stronger simply by defying others!

Zhu Yuanzhang: “Biao’er, memorize this copy of Mencius for me!”

Zhu Biao: “No! That’s a way to keep the people ignorant. I want to study science and engineering, build ironclad warships, and conquer the world!”

[Ding! You have successfully defied an emperor for the ages. Reward: 10,000 defiance points!]

Zhu Yuanzhang: “You rebellious brat! Stop right there!”

To stay alive, Zhu Biao is forced down a path of shocking defiance. He makes the old emperor cry, infuriates the empress, bullies his younger brothers, and turns the entire Ming palace upside down!

The civil and military officials: “The crown prince has gone mad! The Ming dynasty is doomed!”

Zhu Yuanzhang: “Where are my soles?!”

But gradually, everyone notices that as the crown prince gets beaten, the Ming dynasty keeps growing stronger. High-yield potatoes end famines, cement roads stretch across the country, and an invincible fleet sweeps the oceans...

Years later, Zhu Yuanzhang gazes at a map of the world and falls into thought. “You rebellious brat, insult me one more time and I’ll hand you the throne!”
