    How can a "scapegoat" targeted by Zhu Yuanzhang rewrite his fate in the Ming Dynasty palace? The Ming Dynasty is engulfed in turmoil. Empress Ma is bedridden, and the Imperial Medical Academy is on high alert, yet powerless to save her. Desperate, Zhu Yuanzhang places his hopes on the mysterious immortal Zhang Lata. But this elusive man vanishes before the Imperial Guards can apprehend him! His unfortunate apprentice, Li Qing, becomes his master's scapegoat, forcibly dragged into this life-or-death vortex. The ornate carriage rolls along the dirt road, its interior filled with chilled watermelon and plum juice, the soft cushions so inviting one could sink in, yet Li Qing feels as if he's sitting on pins and needles. Lifting the curtain, hundreds of armed guards on tall horses, their gleaming blades reflecting the blazing sun, completely crush any thoughts of escape. The Jinyiwei commander politely inquired, "Is there anything you need?", But behind that smile lay the chilling murderous intent of the Jinyiwei—the more gentle they were now, the more ruthless they would be when they settled accounts later. Li Qing was filled with despair. Although he had some medical knowledge, how confident was he in treating an illness that even the Imperial Hospital couldn't cure? Moreover, he was facing Zhu Yuanzhang, who held the power of life and death! The numerous tragedies perpetrated by the Jinyiwei in his history textbooks flashed through his mind; he knew that one wrong step on this trip to the palace would lead to utter ruin. However, the gears of fate had already begun to turn. In this treacherous palace intrigue, could this "unlucky fellow," forced into the game, use his unexpectedly awakened mysterious abilities to carve out a path to survival amidst the deadly traps? "The Immortal of the Ming Dynasty" will take you behind the scenes to uncover the thrilling game of power hidden in the fog of history, and see how an ordinary person rewrites their predetermined destiny!
