Synopsis

[No System] [Thirty days to live from the start] [Absurd comedy] [Feigning madness and playing dumb] [The more he courts death, the more he's relied upon] [Rebellious to the core, but unfortunately afraid to die] [Ensemble court drama] [An unofficial history that veers off script]

Lan Yu, a failed Ming history writer, had spent seven years writing novels about the Ming dynasty, and every one of them had flopped.

The night he died suddenly, he was writing the chapter about Lan Yu being skinned and stuffed with straw, cursing as he went: There's no saving this dead end. Not even the gods could do it.

When he opened his eyes, he had become Lan Yu.

On the eleventh day of the first month of the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, there were thirty days left before the Lan Yu case.

Lan Yu: ...How did the person supposed to save this dead end end up being me, right in the middle of it?

No System, no interface. His only golden finger was a head full of historical facts, and even those would fade, with real history and the plot he'd made up getting jumbled together all the time.

He fought with everything he had to stay alive:

He pretended to have a stroke and played the victim, but people took it as proof that the Duke's valor was undiminished.

He submitted a memorial resigning his military authority, and the entire court interpreted it as a threat. Zhu Yuanzhang responded by promoting him, personally choosing his new title.

He wore a patched court robe and complained of being poor. The generals were moved to tears and insisted on making him the standard-bearer of the military nobility.

He treated the Embroidered Uniform Guard to six bowls of wontons while fishing for dirt on them, and received a message in the middle of the night: "Six bowls of wontons. I know about that, too."

The more he tried to keep his head down, the more Old Zhu thought he was patient, useful, and sensible.

The court was full of people who either wanted him dead or wanted to push him into rebellion.

He only wanted to survive these thirty days. But after dodging one blade, he realized that in the Hongwu court, the blade used to remove a thorn would stay raised forever.

Lan Yu slapped his thigh. "Fine. I'll rewrite this damn outline myself!"

As he kept revising, the entire Ming dynasty gradually ceased to have a single page that matched the script he'd written.

I wrote this book because I wanted to write about a different time travel to the Ming Dynasty: there is no system cheating, no fighting for world supremacy, just a person who knows that he will be skinned in thirty days, trying his best to survive in the Hongwu Year. I try to make history fun and survival serious, so that you can laugh out loud and sweat for the protagonist at the same time. This book must be finished, well written, and updated daily. If you like this "living with a smile" style, please add a bookshelf and catch up on updates. It's really important for young authors.

Others look at tactics, but I look at actual records of beating workers. Lan Yu was afraid of being fired by her boss (Zhu Yuanzhang) every day, so she pretended to be sick and cried about poverty, so she took the initiative to hand over her military power. She signed the cow for overtime work but was not rewarded, and all the rewards were given to the cow. Haha, this is not Duke Liang, this is me who worries about being optimized every day.

How to put it, I personally think it's quite funny. This is a time-travel novel with useless gold fingers. The protagonist is a Ming Dynasty novelist, who transforms into a blue jade that he wrote to death. He relies on half a book - he knows the big things but not the details, and the more he changes, the more he submits the manuscript. So far, it seems to be pretty good. It's not a fool's errand. I'll talk about it later when I follow up.

So far it seems to be okay, it's quite funny, but the number of words is a bit short. I hope the author will finish it and don't leave it unfinished. The most important thing is not to stop updating!
