Reborn at the End of the Ming: A Prince's Heir Revives the Empire

Reborn in the seventh year of the Chongzhen reign of the Ming dynasty as the heir to Prince Hui of Jingzhou, Zhu Youliang finds that his father devotes himself to Buddha and ignores worldly affairs, while his stepmother holds all the power and the entire princely residence is rotten to the core.

The Ming dynasty is on the brink of collapse, and Zhu Youliang refuses to become a subject of a fallen state.

Starting from a corner of Jingzhou, he reforms the princely residence, wins over officials, builds his power, puts down rebellions, and gradually unites the south.

When Chongzhen hangs himself on Coal Hill and the Jianzhou cavalry rides south, the assembled ministers kneel and plead:

“Please take the throne, Heir Apparent, and preserve the Ming dynasty!”
