Great Ming: The Last Crown Prince, Saving My Father's Empire

What would it be like to become the last crown prince just before the fall of the Ming dynasty?

During a history class in his senior year of high school, Zhu Cilang was still lamenting the fall of the Ming. The next second, he became the sixteen-year-old crown prince of the Ming, who shared his name.

The seventeenth year of the Chongzhen reign. Snow fell over the Forbidden City. "Your Highness, hurry and flee south with His Majesty!" A eunuch's shriek pierced his ears. Zhu Cilang gripped the System panel tightly. Modern historical knowledge and the responsibility he had inherited from the original owner thundered through his mind: fleeing south meant death, but defending the city... might not!

Zhu Cilang awakened a daily sign-in System. Bronze privileges could be exchanged for food, silver privileges could draw weapons, and golden privileges could even be exchanged for an entire industrial city... He tore up the "edict to move the capital south" in front of everyone. "I, the crown prince, will show Li Zicheng what the backbone of the Ming dynasty looks like!"

When the rebels' siege ladders reached the city walls, the Crown Prince's army had already mounted machine guns on the watchtowers. The Qing troops trembled with fear before the steam-powered armored vehicles...

Three months later, the last crown prince, once thought doomed to die, leaned against the wall above the Meridian Gate and laughed. "History? I write it."
