Records say that in the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the Crown Prince of the Great Ming, Zhu Biao, died after catching a chill while inspecting Shaanxi out of concern for the people. He was buried in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum and posthumously granted the title Crown Prince Yiwen.
Emperor Hongwu stood before the mausoleum, his heart bleeding with grief, yet not a single tear fell. He was Emperor Hongwu, ruler of the Great Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang, who destroyed the Yuan dynasty and wiped out Chen Han!
Even after the death of his most beloved son, he could not afford to fall!
But once the memorial rites were over and everyone had left the mausoleum, Zhu Biao, who had transmigrated from a later era, climbed out of his grave:
“To hell with being emperor! Whoever wants the job can have it. I’d rather die out there than become that damned emperor.”
The palace’s cutthroat intrigues and Zhu Yuanzhang’s bloodthirsty nature had kept Zhu Biao, who had transmigrated here three years ago, on edge every day. He had thought that being given another life would let him escape the fate of working 996.
He never expected to become history’s most diligent crown prince, stuck in a job where he could drop dead at any moment.
“What Great Ming realm? What concern for the common people?
I’m just an ordinary man. In this second life, I’ll live as I please and keep my distance from this treacherous, ever-shifting imperial palace!”
That's really impressive, truly remarkable.

They actually managed to grab a front-row seat!
I'm a lucky person!
