Great Ming: From the Start, I Stole Empress Ma from Zhu Yuanzhang, and He Wept

Also known as My First Love, Ma Xiuying, Contest for the Ming, and Competing for the Throne Against Zhu, Whose Bride Was Stolen

In the twelfth year of the Zhizheng era, a stone man with one eye set the Yellow River ablaze with rebellion!

The White Lotus uprising had been raging for over a year, and the heroes of the late Yuan Dynasty were stepping onto the stage.

The good news: My father is the marshal Guo Zixing. The bad news: My future brother-in-law is Zhu Chongba.

To survive, Guo Tianxu has only one way to solve the problem at its root: get to Ma Xiuying, the future empress of the Ming, first!

With fierce generals at his side, he recruits Xu Da and subdues Chang Yuchun, leading three thousand elite troops straight to Youyan.

With worthy ministers by his side, he seeks out Liu Bowen and appoints Li Shanchang. Ascending the throne, he opens a new chapter for the Ming!

Drive out the northern invaders, restore China, destroy the Northern Yuan, and found the Ming Dynasty!

This is no feeble Zhu Ming. There are no five ruinously costly expeditions into the northern deserts, no Oirat hostage students, no emperor who is a carpenter, and no ruler who hangs himself on Coal Hill!

This is the Guo Ming: the Northern Yuan is destroyed, Japan is conquered, Annam is pacified, the Western Regions are reopened, and a regional military commission is established in U-Tsang!

A dynasty after the Han and Tang that once again commands the world and draws the peoples of the four quarters to bow in reverence!
