Great Ming: Zhu Yuanzhang Beats Me? Empress Ma Comes Back to Take My Side

(No female lead + laid-back story + goofy comedy)

After transmigrating as Zhu Ke, the sixth son of the Ming Dynasty's Hongwu Emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma's sixth son, I spent eighteen years as a clueless, lazy layabout before finally awakening to my modern memories and a long-overdue System! I thought I was about to embark on a glorious path of conquering the Northern Yuan and kicking my way across the eight directions. But the moment I opened the System's space, Zhu Ke was stunned: there was no one-click organizing, no divine weapons or immortal elixirs, just a mountain-sized pile of blind-box junk that stretched as far as the eye could see!

A broken bowl with a chipped rim, expired wound medicine, a patched undershirt once worn by some cultivator... After rummaging through junk for half a month, Zhu Ke was utterly exhausted. At last, he struck gold in the trash and dug up two SSR-grade divine treasures: [Humanoid Doll Metal Chamber] and [Twelve Zodiac: Rat Talisman (Grants life to inanimate objects)].

It happened to be the first anniversary of Empress Ma's death. The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, turned into a furious old dragon and attacked everyone indiscriminately during the grand court assembly at the Hall of Veneration for Heaven. Then he took off his shoe and unleashed a merciless round of collective beatings.

Zhu Ke, who had been struck by a shoe for no reason, flew into a rage on the spot and even dared to talk back in court! To repay this “one-arrow revenge,” Zhu Ke used the System's divine treasures to reshape Empress Ma's body and give it life, then took his newly resurrected mother straight to the imperial study to settle the score!

He resurrected Empress Ma and saved the Crown Prince, but the emperor still had his explosive temper. Zhu Ke, whose soul belonged to a modern man, couldn't take it anymore and finally snapped.

“Even a clay figure has a temper, let alone a living person like me, old man! My blade is still sharp.”

“You're going to rebel?”

“Rebel? That shabby throne of yours? Even if you gave it to me for free, I'd find it uncomfortable to sit on!”
