Reviving the Great Ming Through Martial Might

Once, Zhu Zhanba believed that every era had its own destiny. And that everyone should follow the course of life their era had laid out for them. But the Ming dynasty was so real that it frightened him. The Yongle Golden Age was not as wonderful as he had imagined. The Ren and Xuan Reigns were not as progressive as he had imagined, either. People... were not as kind and... warm as he had imagined. Only then did Zhu Zhanba realize that the people here were no different from the ones he had known before. When trouble arose, if it had nothing to do with them, they would turn a blind eye. If their interests were threatened, they would stop at nothing. From his beginnings as an imperial grandson, through his time as a prince of a vassal state, and finally to becoming the one in power, all Zhu Zhanba had ever wanted was to survive.
