Chongzhen Is Reborn, and I've Become Li Zicheng?

[No System] [Wits and Courage] [Not Mindless] [Revenge] [Villains with Brains] [Restore the Ming, Defeat the Qing]

I am the Chongzhen Emperor, Zhu Youjian!

I hanged myself at Coal Hill, all hope lost. When I opened my eyes again, I had become Li Zicheng?!

The throne is the same, but the realm is no longer the one I knew.

In my previous life, I worked tirelessly day and night, yet ended up betrayed by everyone, with my country destroyed and my family dead.

In this life, my soul inhabits a rebel. I command a million troops and bear the infamy of the ages!

So be it!

I’ll correct the mistakes of my past life in this one! I’ll make up for all I lost!

In the body of the “Dashing King,” I will wield the thunderbolt and harbor a heart of compassion.

My first task is to find my crown prince and my princesses! Seeing the terror in their eyes cuts me to the heart, but all I can do is promise them as the “Dashing King”: “Don’t be afraid. With me here, the sky won’t fall!”

…

Li Guo and Li Laiheng: “The Dashing King has changed! He’s become unfathomable, but also… someone we’re willing to follow with all our hearts!”

Liu Zongmin: “The old Dashing King was our brother. His Majesty now… is Heaven! I’m convinced!”

Li Yan: “I once thought His Majesty was merely a roving bandit. I never imagined he would embrace the whole realm, surpassing the great rulers of every past dynasty. I am willing to give my life in His Majesty’s service!”

Dorgon: “Why was Zhou Yu born if Zhuge Liang was destined to be born too? As long as Li Zicheng lives, the Great Qing will never know peace!”

Crown Prince Zhu Cilang: “Father… Your Majesty! Your son is willing to serve at the head of your horse and help you reclaim this splendid realm!”
