Ming Dynasty: I Rule the World by Refining Elixirs

The core selling point of the work can be summarized in one sentence: Transform into Jiajing and start with a talking alchemy furnace. Do all the civil and military officials in the dynasty want me to be a puppet? I made the "Loyal Minister Pill" with my backhand. Yan Song, Xu Jie, Hai Rui... Are all the medicine guides in my elixir furnace. Cultivation? No, what I am cultivating is the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. In the 16th year of Zhengde's reign, the 15-year-old Zhu Houcong, the eldest son of Prince Xing, was brought to Beijing and sat on the dragon throne with the four words "brothers end up with brothers". The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty used him as a puppet, and Yang Tinghe, the first assistant, forced him to recognize someone else as his father. Late at night when he was blocked outside Daming Gate, an alchemy furnace appeared in his dream. His father stood on the top of the stove and said to him: "This stove can burn two things--burning for others to eat is called power; burning for yourself to eat is called homecoming." Zhu Houcong didn't know what power was, nor what the way home was. But he knew one thing - this alchemy furnace was teaching him how to live. From then on, the Ming Dynasty had a mad emperor who went to court in Taoist robes. He made "Loyal Minister Pill" to make Yan Songyan obey his advice, made "Auspicious Ruid Pill" to make all officials kneel down and worship God's will, and made "Military Heart Pill" to boost the morale of border officials. Everyone thought he was crazy - only he knew that madness was his most powerful weapon. But when he swallowed the last "Wanshou Emperor Pill", he suddenly discovered: the furnace had been burning for forty-five years, and the one who was burning the fire was not someone else—himself. "The Jiajing period means that every family is clean and has no money to use." - Hai Rui. "A sane madman was refined, and forty-five years of fire burned into the emptiness." - Zhang Juzheng.
