Call Me the Emperor of Great Ming

Transmigrated into the body of Zhu Youjian, the protagonist finds himself at a critical juncture as his elder brother, Emperor Zhu Youxiao, lies on his deathbed without an heir. Although the throne is meant to pass to him, the powerful eunuch Wei Zhongxian dominates the court and plots to assassinate Zhu Youjian to seize power for himself. To make matters worse, the imperial edict of succession has mysteriously vanished, leaving Zhu Youjian isolated and in mortal danger with no clear path to the throne. Fortunately, he possesses a unique advantage: the Revive Relatives System. By completing daunting tasks such as repelling ten thousand Later Jin cavalry at Shanhai Pass and capturing Prince Daišan alive, he earns destiny points that allow him to resurrect deceased family members, starting with his biological mother, Lady Liu. Despite the seemingly impossible nature of these missions, he must navigate this treacherous political landscape to secure his position. Amidst the chaos, the court presents a colorful array of personalities: the late emperor’s passion for carpentry and commerce, Empress Zhou’s jealous demands regarding his favorite concubines, Wei Zhongxian’s delusions of marriage and immortality, and General Yuan Chonghuan’s fierce vows to annihilate both rebel bandits and Manchu invaders. Facing down rivals like Hong Taiji, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Wei Zhongxian, and Wu Sangui, Zhu Youjian rises to assert his authority, demanding that all enemies kneel before the true Emperor of Great Ming.
