A history graduate student stays up all night revising his thesis, then wakes up as the most miserable scapegoat in the Ming Dynasty: the Jianwen Emperor, Zhu Yunwen.
He opens his eyes on the day of his enthronement. Before him lies the reign title "Jianwen," while his Fourth Uncle, Zhu Di, stands in the distance, watching him like a predator.
Six years later, his uncle will lead troops into Nanjing, and he will be nailed to history's pillar of shame as one of the "most failed emperors."
No. In this life, the script has to change.
On the day of his enthronement, he changes the reign title in court. The new era name: Yongle.
When Zhu Di receives the news, the spear in his hand clatters to the ground.
"Yongle" was supposed to be his reign title. Now his fifteen-year-old nephew has taken it from him.
"Prince of Yan, mind your manners."
"I, the emperor, will rule this Ming realm. As for you, help me defend it."
The plot has ups and downs and is worth watching.
