The Sky Screen Reveals the Truth: The Ming Dynasty's Number-One Playboy Can No Longer Hide It

After transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty, he becomes Zhu Yuntong, the legitimate second grandson of the emperor.

Knowing how dangerous factional struggles in the Ming court can be, he decides to play the part of a thoroughly decadent good-for-nothing, spending his days listening to music in the pleasure quarters. In secret, however, he builds a global empire on which the sun never sets, waiting for Old Zhu to die so he can sail away and rule an island.

Who could have guessed that the sky screen would descend, presenting a “historical hell: choose one of two” from the start!

The sky screen asks, “If the Ming Dynasty faced utter ruin, who could turn the tide?”

Zhu Yuanzhang sneers. “Yunwen is dutiful and filial. He can surely preserve the Ming Dynasty. As for that good-for-nothing Yuntong, even a dog wouldn't pick him!”

[Wrong answer! Beginning analysis,]

On screen, Zhu Yunwen's campaign to strip the princes of their fiefs sparks a disaster that consumes him. Then, in the very next moment, Zhu Yuntong, the wastrel imperial grandson who gets scolded every day, waves a hand, and a million-strong shadow army appears out of nowhere, mowing down the northern deserts with Gatling guns! Even Qin Shi Huang frantically floods the comments, begging to ride his coattails.

Old Zhu stares at Zhu Yuntong, who's dozing beside him, and is completely dumbfounded. “You little rebel, you call this being too weak to swat a chicken?!”

Zhu Yuntong spreads his hands helplessly. “Grandpa, if I say later generations made it all up with special effects, will you believe me?”
