Lu Yuan, a modern social animal, wakes up and travels back to the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, becoming a novice monk in a temple that is about to be massacred by the Qing army. At the critical moment, he awakened the [Event Selection Causation System], which can predict and guide the best results by choosing different options.
At the beginning, he used the system guidance to rescue the subjugated princess Zhu Ningyue who fled incognito during the crisis in the massacre of the temple. From then on, a fake monk and a real princess started their counterattack in troubled times.
From recruiting refugees and establishing cottages to using modern knowledge and systematic guidance to develop military industry and agriculture, Lu Yuan's power has grown like a snowball. He made countless "correct choices": he repeatedly jumped between the peasant army, the Southern Ming Dynasty and the Manchu and Qing Tatar forces to seize the maximum benefits; he accurately ambushed the Qing generals, repeatedly winning with less and winning more, making him famous; in the face of natural and man-made disasters, he was always able to make plans in advance, open warehouses and release grain, and win the hearts of the people.
In the end, Lu Yuan was no longer satisfied with being a separatist prince. He pointed his sword directly at the world, competed with the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the Central Plains, overthrew the decadent old order, and established a new dynasty of his own, allowing Chinese civilization to stand on top of the world again.
