Introduction Hongwugou God: I Just Want To Live Until Yongle Gets One Billion
In the first year of Hongwu, Lin Mo has only one goal: to survive until the first year of Yongle and go home with one billion in cash!
At the beginning, when Lao Zhu broke into a fellow traveler who made false claims about the country’s foundation, he was immediately executed. Lin Mo was so frightened that he made an iron rule on the spot: don’t take sides, don’t lie, don’t be greedy for credit, and stick to the rules!
He just wanted to be a transparent person in Taichang Temple, but because of three years of zero mistakes, he was spotted by Lao Zhu and forced into the high-risk household department.
In the Kongyin case, hundreds of officials deceived the emperor, but his accounts were accurate, and he was promoted to three levels in a row;
The Hu Weiyong case and the Guo Huan case were a bloodbath in the court, and the top officials of the Ministry of Revenue were dead, but he escaped unscathed and became the minister;
In the Lanyu case, all the founding heroes were slaughtered, but he firmly sat in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and became the minister of care for Lao Zhu's death!
The less he wants to be promoted, the bigger his position will be;
The more he wants to keep a low profile and survive, the more he will be regarded as a humerus by Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the battle of Jianwen and Jingnan, he walked the tightrope of neutrality throughout the whole process. The bell of Yongle's reform rang. Lin Mo looked at the one billion received and burst into tears: Thirty-one years! I finally managed to get ahead!

If you are a fan of historical fantasy and the "overpowered through caution" trope, Huo Gou’s Hongwugou God: I Just Want To Live Until Yongle Gets One Billion is an absolute must-read. This Xianxia-infused historical novel breathes fresh life into the Ming Dynasty era by blending high-stakes political intrigue with a hilarious, relatable protagonist whose only goal is retirement.
The premise is brilliantly simple: Lin Mo, a time-traveler, arrives in the first year of the Hongwu Emperor’s reign with a singular, desperate mission. He doesn’t want to overthrow dynasties, start a harem, or change the world; he just wants to survive until the Yongle era to claim his one-billion-cash reward. His strategy? Radical anonymity. Lin Mo treats "being invisible" as a high-level martial art, strictly avoiding the treacherous court politics of Zhu Yuanzhang’s notoriously lethal reign.
What makes this story truly addictive is the ironic irony of Lin Mo’s situation. The harder he tries to be a "transparent" official, the more his impeccable competence and unwavering honesty stand out to the suspicious, bloodthirsty Emperor. Watching him navigate the real-life historical horrors of the Kongyin, Hu Weiyong, and Lanyu cases while desperately trying to fly under the radar is both nerve-wracking and incredibly funny. It turns the "cold historical drama" genre on its head, replacing the usual power-hungry hero with a guy who treats a ministerial promotion like a death sentence.
The character development is superb; Lin Mo’s evolution from a cowardly survivor to the most trusted Minister of Revenue is paced perfectly. If you enjoy smart plotting, dry wit, and a protagonist who wins by simply being the most competent person in a room full of chaos, this novel delivers an unforgettable, high-stakes journey through history. You will be cheering for Lin Mo every step of the way.
