Zhu Ji, a student of the Department of Modern History, woke up and traveled to the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty, becoming another Zhu Ji.
Before he could rejoice in his distinguished status, the memory from the future gave him a blow:
There is only less than half a year left before the "Tumu Fortress Incident" that destroyed half a million elites of the Ming Dynasty and made the emperor a prisoner.
What shocked him even more was that in this life, he was actually the son-in-law of the eternal loyal minister Yu Qian.
On one side is Wang Zhen, the eunuch who has great power and seduces the emperor's heart, and on the other side is Wala Yexian, who is eyeing and sharpening his sword. The great wheel of history is crashing towards the deserted land called "Tumu Fort" along its destined trajectory.
It is easy to know the nature, but difficult to defy the nature.
With the power of a royal guard, he holds the power of inspection and has an insight into the darkness of the government and the public, but he gets blamed at every turn;
As Yu Qian's son-in-law, he is close to the core of power and wants to turn the tide, but he is walking on thin ice.
Can he use modern knowledge and historical prophets to find a glimmer of hope in the turbulent court?
Can he, as a royal guard, play a secret game to reverse the fate of the country and prevent the catastrophe that would overthrow the dynasty?
How should he protect his family and prevent his father-in-law Yu Qian from going to the tragic guillotine in the future?
This is a race against time, but also a game against fate.
Let's see how the time traveler Zhu Ji can save the world and rewrite a magnificent epic of the Ming Dynasty before the dusk of the empire falls!
