After transmigrating into the body of Zhu Youxiao, the Tianqi Emperor of the late Ming, known as the Carpenter Emperor,
I find myself beset by powerful enemies without and treacherous foes within.
But I am here now.
Let me see: is the world guilty of wronging me, or have I wronged the world?
I will take charge of military affairs, reform the officials, clear the land registers, and change the laws.
I will crush the eastern invaders, pacify the northern tribes, destroy the western barbarians, and conquer the southern tribes.
Before you stands a specimen of humanity at its lowest moral ebb, a notorious warmonger throughout history, His Majesty the Emperor of Great Ming.
Call me a tyrant or a despot. To keep the land of China from sinking into ruin, I will bear the infamy.
