    High-quality Ming Dynasty novels include those where the protagonist is a grandson of an emperor who travels back in time, or directly becomes emperor. The fourth book features a protagonist who travels back in time to Zhu Qiyu, possesses a system, consolidates his imperial throne, ends the coup d'état early by killing Zhu Qizhen, and reforms the Ming Dynasty. The fifth book features a protagonist who travels back in time to the late Ming Dynasty, seeks help from his ancestors in the early Ming Dynasty, and then travels through various periods of the Ming Dynasty, becoming powerful through filial piety.

    [Historical Fantasy Novel Recommendation] I've written almost 200,000 words, and I really enjoyed writing about Zhu Di! This is my first post in the community, so I'm a little nervous~ I just updated to Chapter 72, and the part where Zhu Di subdues the 100,000 Jin troops was so exciting to write! From Yao Guangxiao rescuing the Prince of Jin to Zhu Di's triumph at the training ground and the acquisition of military power, the Jingnan Rebellion is about to begin! Are there any other fans of Zhu Di's epic stories? Let's wait and see what happens next! #MingDynasty: Me! Zhu Di, let's team up and take on Zhu Di!
