William Thompson transmigrated to become the grandson of the Grand Chancellor of the Ming Dynasty. Before he could even feel happy about it, he discovered that his grandfather’s name was Samuel Thompson, and there were only six months left before Samuel Thompson and his entire family would be executed.

In other words, William Thompson had only two paths before him. The first was to give up struggling, and, while there were still six months left, eat whatever he could, drink whatever he wanted, play as much as possible, and then, after half a year, the whole family would be marched to the execution ground together and beheaded in one swift stroke.

The second path was to use his identity as a transmigrator and try every possible way to escape with his life from the skinning demon Zhu Yuanzhang. There was, in fact, a ready-made way: marry a princess and become the prince consort. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was ruthless, he would not lay a hand on his own daughter and son-in-law. The problem was, there were only six months left—this was practically an impossible mission. At one point, William Thompson even thought that maybe choosing the first path would be easier?
