The early Ming Dynasty was a period of constant turmoil. It was an era of receding instability, yet a group of heroes and ruthless figures stirred history, propelling the Ming Dynasty's rule to its first peak! In such a historical context, how did an ordinary person from modern times manage to manipulate events, intervene in such turbulent times, and achieve his own quiet brilliance?
