Great Ming: Reborn as a Baby, My Whole Family Can Hear My Thoughts

Reborn into the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xiongying becomes Zhu Biao's eldest legitimate son.

Knowing he is destined to die at eight, Zhu Xiongying decides: To hell with the throne. For these eight years, I'm going to lie flat and drink only the sweetest milk!

But he has no idea that the entire Zhu family can hear his inner thoughts!

At court, Old Zhu is about to lavish rewards on Hu Weiyong.

Zhu Xiongying blows milk bubbles. [Go ahead and reward him. That old schemer is about to rebel, and thirty thousand people will lose their heads. The evidence is in his secret room.]

Old Zhu's face changes dramatically. He orders Hu Weiyong's household seized on the spot, leaving the officials terrified!

Seeing his fourth uncle Zhu Di, Zhu Xiongying sighs inwardly. [Poor Fourth Uncle. He'll bear the infamy of civil war for all eternity. But the Americas are full of gold. Wouldn't it be great to go there and rule as an emperor?]

The next day, Old Zhu bundles Zhu Di off in the middle of the night. In tears, Zhu Di leads the Ming navy to conquer the Americas!

Not only that, Empress Ma recovers, Crown Prince Zhu Biao grows stronger, and the Ming Dynasty even launches an Industrial Revolution.

On his eighth birthday, Zhu Xiongying lies flat, ready to pass away in peace.

But Old Zhu packs the Eastern Palace with all the officials and stuffs a jeweled globe into his arms. "Grandson, I'm handing you the sun-never-sets empire I've conquered!"

Zhu Xiongying bolts upright. "Huh? Wasn't I supposed to die? How did I become ruler of the world?!"
