The Prodigal Son of Ming Dynasty

Fang Jipan is a notorious troublemaker whose mere presence sends shivers down the spines of the most powerful figures in the Ming Dynasty. To his father, a respected military general, he is nothing short of a prodigal son—a source of endless frustration and tears. The young man’s unpredictable antics and sheer audacity have made him an infamous figure within the imperial court, leaving his exasperated father constantly questioning how he ended up with such a wayward heir. His reputation for chaos extends far beyond his own household, reaching the highest echelons of power. The Emperor himself dreads Fang Jipan's appearances, finding that every word out of the young man's mouth triggers a splitting headache, while his physical proximity is enough to make the ruler want to flee the room entirely. Even the Prince is not spared from this relentless torment, viewing Fang Jipan as the singular root of all his misery and the primary reason he faces constant reprimands. Yet, despite being universally regarded as a walking disaster by the dynasty's elite, Fang Jipan remains blissfully cheerful and completely oblivious to their suffering, always greeting his terrified superiors with a bright smile and wondering if they missed him.
