Great Ming: The Exceptional County Magistrate Who Scares Zhu Yuanzhang to Tears

After transmigrating to the Hongwu era, Qin Mu becomes the county magistrate of Jiangning and only wants to keep a low profile.

Then his remark, "The emperor is far away, beyond the reach of heaven," enrages Zhu Yuanzhang, who is traveling incognito.

But even more absurdly, this iron-fisted emperor is completely won over by Qin Mu's reforms.

From a man under suspicion to a trusted favorite, from an obscure nobody to a powerful figure at court, Qin Mu turns the Ming bureaucracy upside down with a series of audacious moves.

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Minister Qin, you truly are a pillar of our Ming! Come, let me reward you with something!"

Zhu Biao: "I am grateful for your guidance and for saving my life, Teacher. I swear to follow you for the rest of my days. You are the Imperial Preceptor of the Ming!"

Zhu Di: "Why do I keep feeling like I've been played?"
