The Ming Dynasty: The opening scene features Zhu Di angrily accusing him of illegitimate succession.

In this web novel, a modern science and engineering student finds himself transported back in time to the Ming Dynasty. He becomes a lone seventh-rank remonstrating official, using his knowledge of modern science and engineering to speak out against the emperor. Lin Yue, the protagonist, is undaunted by the risks, believing that as long as he dies in the process, he can return to his own time, unlock the superpowers of the Homelander, and experience the thrill of flying and traveling the world. In the Fengtian Hall during the first year of Yongle's reign, Lin Yue boldly accuses Zhu Di, who has announced plans to move the capital, of three major crimes: wasting public resources, inciting the princes to rebel, and having an illegitimate succession. Zhu Di's anger boils over as he threatens to exterminate Lin Yue's clan in response. However, Lin Yue remains unphased, declaring that he would gladly sacrifice his own ten clans if it meant upholding his family's legacy of loyalty.
