I transmigrated.
Unfortunately, I ended up in the late Ming, the period I hated most.
Well, since I'm here, I might as well do something spectacular!
I only have two ambitions: money and women!
Unfortunately, my health forced me to give up on women as my main pursuit.
Fine, then I'll focus on making a fortune.
A great tobacco empire was on the verge of being built by my own hands.
Unfortunately, because of a dispute over shares, the shareholders banded together to frame me and throw me into death row.
Just when I was desperate, a twist of fate led to my rescue by a benefactor who had also transmigrated.
Unfortunately, this benefactor was a brainless Ming loyalist.
He'd been stupid enough to castrate himself and become a eunuch, and now he wanted to force me to do the same.
I put up with all of that.
Worst of all, he wanted a dyed-in-the-wool Ming hater like me to help him save the Great Ming...
And so began my push-and-pull, love-and-hate relationship with this Ming loyalist eunuch.
Along the way, I also met some people whose names sounded familiar.
They were Tianqi, Chongzhen, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, Wei Zhongxian, Nurhaci, Hong Taiji, Xiaozhuang, Dorgon, Aobai, Xu Xiake, Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, Giulio Aleni, Johann Adam Schall von Bell, Ferdinand Verbiest, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Yang Sichang, Qin Liangyu, Li Xiangjun, Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, Wu Sangui, Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong...
