Surviving in Ming China: Building an Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets

[Survive in the Ming dynasty + No System + Political intrigue + Reform + Artillery warfare + World empire]

A honey trap sends the laid-back Zhu Yaofei's soul into the body of Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming dynasty.

When he awakens in the imperial palace, the skies over the Ming Empire have yet to collapse.

He still has fourteen years to rewrite this historical tragedy!

Imprison Yuan Chonghuan, destroy the Shanxi merchants, rein in the nobility, tame the Donglin faction, build military academies, and crush the Jurchens.

And so a doomed empire, its sun setting, becomes a world-spanning empire over which the sun never sets!
