The Tyrant Ming

During the Zhengde era of the Ming dynasty, the eunuch Liu Jin held power within the court, Prince Anhua was plotting rebellion beyond its walls, and a young Tatar prince was always ready to raid south. Across the court, nine out of ten officials had submitted to Liu Jin’s tyranny. Watch as Shi Yifeng, who transmigrates into the body of a dim-witted illegitimate son of a martial arts family, uses his ahead-of-his-time ideas about entertainment to win the trust of Emperor Zhengde. He takes charge of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, crushing the prestigious orthodox sects below and the powerful officials of the Eastern Depot above. He helps Zhengde execute Liu Jin, quell internal unrest, and lead an expedition beyond the frontier. “What? You’re going to betroth Li Fengjie, Su San, the young county princess of the Duke of Wei’s mansion, and that domineering Mongolian princess to me? And grant them noble titles as well?” “What? Your Majesty, you’re bored? Then shall we play mahjong or Killers of the Three Kingdoms? Or should I continue serializing The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants for you?”
