When she woke up, Zhao Qian, a researcher at the Modern Museum, turned out to be Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty who was destined to remain a mystery in the burning palace!
At the end of the Jingnan Campaign, the city of Nanjing was destroyed and the imperial palace fell. Faced with the crazy pursuit of her uncle Zhu Di's forces and the determination of the new court to leave no one alive, she has only one most humble goal: to survive as a "king of subjugation"!
However, the historical knowledge she is familiar with is not a golden finger at this moment, but has become the heaviest shackles and curse. The feeling of powerlessness after knowing the tragic outcome of Jianwen's emperor and his ministers, the deception and guilt when facing his loyal ministers, the violent tear between the modern soul and the identity of the ancient emperor... Made her shocked every step of the way.
She is Emperor Jianwen's "scapegoat" and is caught in the whirlpool of pursuit, escape and identity crisis. The torrent of history is rolling forward. When a bystander who knows the "script" is forced to become the protagonist of a tragic fate, can she rely on modern wisdom and that heavy "foreknowledge" to struggle to survive in a desperate situation, clear the fog of history, and find an unknown way to survive?
This is a story about survival, deception, redemption and self-finding. In the turbulent history of the early Ming Dynasty, we can see how a modern soul carries the burden of knowledge and struggles to move forward in the maze of identity.
