In the third month of the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen reign, heaven and earth fell apart.
Li Zicheng’s army marched straight for Beijing, and the 276-year reign of the Ming dynasty seemed on the verge of ending.
Just as the Chongzhen Emperor hanged himself in a tragic act of desperation on Coal Hill and the capital descended into bloody chaos, a soul from the future unexpectedly possessed Li Cao’an, the infamous wastrel son of the Earl of Xiangcheng.
From the glittering modern workplace to a capital strewn with corpses at the end of the world; from a project manager fretting over KPIs to a wanted criminal of the “Great Shun” who can barely save himself, where will he go from here...
It's okay, a somewhat profound novel.
