Two years into transmigration as Prince of Han, Zhu Gaoxu has watched the Yongle Emperor draft his brother as heir. Fine — time to make an emperor retire early.

In the first year of Yongle, a modern man wearing the skin of the historical troublemaker Zhu Gaoxu decides to stop losing the succession war by playing it. With Zhu Di preparing to sideline him to his fief, he flips the board: bind the emperor's own ambitions, capture the court's logistics, and politely request that His Majesty ascend to Retired Emperor. A sharp Ming court power-fantasy rewrite.
