In the fifteenth year of the Zhizheng era, under the walls of Hezhou, he desperately grabbed Chang Yuchun, who was about to join Liu Ju: "Brother! Don't be a bandit! Go with Zhu Yuanzhang! You will become the first vanguard of the Ming Dynasty and be enfeoffed as the Prince of Kaiping!" "But you will die suddenly in Liuhechuan in the second year of the Hongwu era, on your way back to the capital, at the young age of forty!" Without superhuman strength or a heaven-defying system, he can only use the history he knows to change his fate step by step. He followed his brother in battles across the south and north, laid out defenses in advance at Caishiji, saved Xu Da in the Battle of Poyang Lake, and secretly switched the bowl of medicine that would kill his brother on the way to the Northern Expedition. When Chang Yuchun returned safely to Yingtian Prefecture and hugged him, his eyes red with tears, saying, "Fourth brother, I didn't die," I burst into tears!

It's entertaining and satisfying. Also known as "The Ming Dynasty: I Really Just Want to Lie Down," "Hongwu: Your Majesty, I'm Ill," "The Attending Physician of the Ming Dynasty," and "The King of Zhenhai of the Ming Dynasty." Zhang Wuxian, a 36-year-old failed entrepreneur, transmigrates to the eleventh year of the Hongwu Emperor's reign, becoming a 20-year-old spirited young man. He initially wanted to live a carefree life, but his severe obsessive-compulsive disorder prevented him from seeing anything "unreasonable"—wrong grain prices had to be changed, backward medical care had to be changed, the weak army had to be changed, and even if the Ming Dynasty didn't conquer the world, it had to be changed. Even more outrageous, he has a system in his head that automatically provides solutions and resources whenever his obsessive-compulsive disorder flares up, and it's free. So—he saved the critically ill Crown Princess Chang, and Chang Yuchun's daughter survived; he vaccinated the eldest grandson of the emperor, Zhu Xiong Ying, and the child who should have died at the age of 8 is now alive and kicking; he gave Empress Ma an IV drip to save her when she was critically ill, and Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved woman lived for another twenty years; he diagnosed Zhu Biao's terminal illness in advance, and the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not die young. With these four men alive, the history of the Ming Dynasty was completely rewritten—the Jianwen Emperor was gone, the Jingnan Rebellion was over, and the Lan Yu case was a thing of the past. Empress Ma adopted him as her godson, calling him "this is my son" to everyone she met; Zhu Biao and Zhu Di addressed him as brothers, one calling him "my virtuous brother" and the other "brother-in-law"; Xu Da offered his daughter in marriage to him, making him the son-in-law of the Duke of Wei; Lan Yu regarded him as his savior, even taking a knife for him in court. Zhu Yuanzhang patted him on the shoulder and said, "The most diligent person I've ever met is you." Zhang Wuxian replied tearfully, "Your Majesty, I'm not diligent... I'm ill!" Later, he led Zheng He to conquer the Iwami Silver Mine, crossed the Pacific Ocean to discover the Americas, and planted the Ming Dynasty's flag all over the world. On the day the Ming Dynasty unified the world, he could finally retire. But a tree in the courtyard was planted crookedly...

First book: The one that got me hooked on early Ming Dynasty literature, featuring Zhu Yunwen, the second son of Zhu Biao. This book is incredibly well-written about Zhu Yuanzhang. Second book: As the title suggests, it incorporates many modern policies into the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't read much of it [awkward laugh]. Third book: The protagonist starts by interpreting Zhu Yuanzhang's dreams and explaining Ming history to him; quite interesting. Fourth book: The protagonist starts by treating Empress Ma, later joining the Embroidered Uniform Guard; the protagonist is immortal.

Many novels featuring Zhu Xiong Ying as the protagonist begin in the fifteenth year of the Hongwu reign (1380), after his mother, Lady Chang, has passed away. This novel, however, begins from Xiong Ying's birth, showing how he changes his fate by saving his mother's life and making amends for the regrets of the Ming Dynasty. It's truly superb.
