The Ming Crown Prince's Growth Diary

In the fourth year of Hongzhi, the eldest legitimate son of the tenth emperor of the Great Ming, Emperor Xiaozong, was born. He was given the name Zhu Houzhao.

The labels attached to Emperor Wuzong: brilliant, willful, lawless, bold, and decisive. He also loved traveling, married women, bestowing official titles, and believing himself to be a good emperor.

When parents are strong, their children are weak; when children are strong, their parents are weak. The ancients really knew what they were talking about. Little Zhu stroked his chin as he thought. Of course, this was only his imagination. He had just been born, after all, a golden little bundle with a particularly loud cry.

Nothing mattered more than kicking his little legs and drinking milk!

The officials of the Great Ming never imagined that what seemed like an ordinary day, just like any other, would force the entire empire to change after a single cry.
