Great Ming: I'm a Fake Taoist, and from the Start I Save Empress Ma's Life

Gu Qingzhou transmigrates to the fifteenth year of the Hongwu era of the Ming dynasty, becoming a fake Daoist who makes a living swindling people.

Just then, Empress Ma falls gravely ill, and Zhu Yuanzhang flies into a rage, vowing to execute every quack doctor in the land. Gu Qingzhou’s scam is exposed, and he is about to be skinned alive and stuffed with straw!

At death’s door, he binds himself to the Emotion Mystery Box System. As long as he collects emotional points from the Ming court, he can draw prizes without limit!

To save his own skin, Gu Qingzhou grits his teeth and opens the beginner’s mystery box, only to draw a divine healing art: “Spring Returns to Withered Wood.”

Right before Old Zhu’s eyes, he flicks out a beam of green light. Empress Ma, who was on the brink of death, gets straight out of bed and strides around as if nothing happened!

Zhu Yuanzhang drops to his knees with a thud. “I beg the Imperial Preceptor to grant me the secret of immortality!”

The officials’ entire worldview is shattered, and the Ming dynasty’s course takes a wildly unexpected turn.

He draws “Impure World Reincarnation,” and Zhu Biao, who died of illness, is dragged back to the living world. Xu Da is revived too, as a bonus!

He draws “Palm Thunder,” and one slap reduces Hu Weiyong’s residence to rubble. The officials tremble in fear!

Several years later.

Zhu Yuanzhang puts an arm around Gu Qingzhou’s shoulders. “Imperial Preceptor, I’ll give you half the Ming realm!”

Gu Qingzhou tosses him a few blueprints. “Your Majesty, you’re thinking too small. These are blueprints for an interstellar destroyer. Let Prince Yan Zhu Di conquer the universe!”
