In the Great Ming, I’m the Cruelest: Zhu Youjian Goes Wild

Having witnessed the fall of the Great Ming and the decline of China in his previous life, Zhu Youjian is reborn to the throne with a century of memories.

Facing an emptied treasury, a court hollowed out by corruption, and Manchu cavalry eyeing him from beyond the borders, he abandons the pure officials, uses eunuchs, reforms the army, and purges treacherous ministers.

Using Wei Zhongxian as a blade and Qin Liangyu as a shield, he carefully maneuvers through the whirlpool of factional strife and national crisis, reversing the dynasty's collapse step by step and remaking the rivers and mountains of the Great Ming.
