Soul transmigration + no System
In the late Ming dynasty, the third year of the Chongzhen reign. Shaanxi is strewn with the dead, victims of famine. Wen Ji, a modern bookstore owner, unexpectedly transmigrates and finds himself the scholar and second-in-command of a bandit stronghold at Longmen Fort. His very first operation is to seize Fan Wanqing, the daughter of a wealthy merchant with a mysterious identity, along with her caravan.
A fateful clash with the future “Dashing King” and Hong Chengchou is also in the cards. Wen Ji is forced to make difficult choices between human nature, self-interest, and the tides of history. He tries to find a way through with a modern mindset, only to discover that every move he makes is dragging everyone into an even deeper whirlpool...
This is a desperate gamble in a chaotic age, one that begins with a kidnapping but will decide the fate of the realm.
What a coincidence. How could Li Zicheng be encountered so easily? Every person who rebels starts out with few people following him.
