The Bloodline of the Jingnan Campaign

In the final years of the Hongwu era, Shen Yan, a fourth-year history student, sprained his ankle while conducting fieldwork in the Taihang Mountains. Lost, he stumbled into an ancestral shrine. A blood-drinking genealogy and a mobile phone dragged him into the Jingnan Campaign. Four words appeared in stark relief on the shrine's genealogy: Aid the Prince and End the Usurpation. He had neither soldiers nor title, but with his modern mindset and the medicine he carried, he rose from a menial post in the Ministry of Rites to become the Earl of Zhenbei. He rescued Miss Song of Zhen Ding, intercepted Ge Cheng's secret letter, seized control of Beiping's nine gates, used the Militia Training Manual to reform military formations, and built field hospitals. Wielding ritual and custom as his blade, he helped Zhu Di purge the court and claim the empire. But as the blood-soaked genealogy glowed brighter, his phone's battery dwindled. A mad Taoist's copper coin and the waters of the Eastern Sea pointed toward a return journey spanning six hundred years. He had been a mere passerby, yet became the sharpest strategist of the Yongle Golden Age. He had plotted the fate of the empire, but could he still return to his home six hundred years in the future?
