I Am the Ming Emperor, Defending the Nation to the Death!

Reborn in another world during the age of empires, he found a land dotted with countless nations and plagued by rampaging foreign tribes.

There were no heroes of the Qin and Han dynasties here. Only the Tang and Song dynasties and the Great Ming struggled to hold on.

The Great Ming was in especially dire straits. It had a so-called warrior emperor, Zhu Qizhen. The Tumu Crisis had wiped out its elite forces, sending the empire's fortunes into a steep decline! And, to make matters worse, Zhu Xuan ended up as Zhu Qizhen, a puppet emperor installed after Empress Dowager Sun shifted the blame onto him!

What was he to do? Outside, the Oirat army watched hungrily. Within the court, Empress Dowager Sun seized power, Wei Zhongxian's eunuch faction ran rampant, and on the border the Prince of Yan harbored wolfish ambitions, thirsting for the throne. A hellish start? From the start, he chose the Ancestral Dragon's legacy!

Even in another world, our Great Ming remains unyielding! We will not cede land, pay tribute, or surrender. The emperor guards the nation's gates, and the ruler dies for his realm!
