The Powerful Minister of the Great Ming

In the 109th year of the Great Ming, Qin Jue, the adopted son whom Wei Yutian, head of the eunuch faction, had picked up, was nearly twelve and had reached the age for castration. He had to save his manhood.

Qin Jue was entrusted with a desperate mission: to oppose the Donglin faction on behalf of the eunuch faction over the three-year drought. He made a bold declaration in court: it would rain within two days.

If it did not, he would be executed.

The Great Ming was now at the brink of life and death. Beyond its borders, the Jurchen, the Liao, and the Later Jin all eyed the realm hungrily.

Within, rebel factions fought among themselves, corrupt officials twisted the law, and the people suffered.

Emperor Zhu Han was no ruler who would bring about the dynasty's fall, but he lacked the power to save the nation. Someone had to turn back the tide before it swept everything away and prop up the great house as it teetered on the brink of collapse.

That person was Qin Jue. Watch as he quells the turmoil at court and calms the unrest sweeping the martial world.

He will also crush powerful enemies beyond the borders and fulfill the late emperor's grand vision. All under heaven belongs to the emperor, and the world is vast beyond measure.
