I Transmigrated to Great Ming and Keep a Diary; Old Zhu Waits Every Day for Updates

Chu Xiao transmigrates to the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty. He thinks his life is over, but the System arrives five years late. He casually writes in a diary, and it appears out of nowhere in the imperial study.

Zhu Yuanzhang stares at the diary that appeared from thin air. At first, he thinks it's sorcery, but then everything written in it comes true.

"Who is this Chu Xiao? How can he know the future?"

From then on, the Hongwu Emperor picks up a new hobby: waiting around every day for the diary to update.

"Where's today's diary? Has that brat Chu Xiao gotten lazy?"

"Is it true he's saying I should move the capital? And he mentioned the Prince of Yan... No, I'd better keep a close eye on things!"

As Chu Xiao keeps writing, he discovers that the rewards are getting more and more outrageous, ranging from silver notes to official seals, and from military manuals to gunpowder formulas.

Until one day, Zhu Yuanzhang shows up at his door with the diary in hand. "Chu Xiao, could you explain this method of forming a cabinet in more detail?"

Chu Xiao is stunned. I was only writing a diary, so how did I end up changing the Ming Dynasty!?
