Great Ming: Zhu Yuanzhang Simulates the Prince Who Fights Heaven to Save His Mother

(The protagonist is still based on a reader's suggestion: the aloof male heartthrob who recites poetry.)

I am Zhu Tao, the ninth son of the Great Ming. Reborn into this world, I've spent six years cultivating immortality, and now I'm invincible here.

I was about to sever my worldly ties and ascend to the Great Dao when I sensed that my mother, Empress Ma, was on the brink of death!

"Mother, wait for me!"

With a single sword strike, I tear through the sky and return from the North Pole!

I am Zhu Yuanzhang, founding emperor of the Great Ming. I worry over my heir as I struggle to save my beloved wife.

But while simulating the future, I uncover a shocking secret!

My grandson is incompetent, the vassal kings circle like wolves, and the empire is on the verge of collapse!

Then one day, I see my ninth son, who left home six years ago...

He cuts down Lan Yu with a single sword and hangs the rebel army's heads as curtains!

He battles the heavenly tribulation in the skies, defying fate to restore his elder brother's soul!

That's ruthless! That's powerful! Now that's a son of the Zhu family!

Ninth son, whether you want it or not, you're taking the Great Ming throne!
