In the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen reign of Great Ming, as the capital was on the verge of falling and the emperor was about to take his own life, a modern college student transmigrated into his body, hanging beneath a locust tree on Coal Hill.
At the critical moment, he unexpectedly gained a golden finger, and a “Great Ming Livestream” appeared before his eyes.
The chat flooded with messages saying [Your Majesty, don't die]. Gifts could be exchanged for supplies, and the livestream could sell goods and summon seeds and steel.
He fell from the platform, gathered the remaining troops, and sailed overseas, carrying firearms and agricultural manuals across the Pacific.
While others struggled to survive, he built wooden houses, opened iron mines, and laid railways. By the time the steam engines were puffing smoke, a mighty city had risen.
The former emperor did not reclaim the throne. Instead, he became a village chief and led the entire internet in farming.
On the livestream, he was a top-tier star and the king of livestream sales. In the real world, he led his allies against pirates, trading companies, and colonists.
Beneath this bright moon shining over the wilderness, a new Great Ming was rising in North America.
