Great Ming: I Wield the Fortune-Stealing System to Save the Empire

Chen Mo, a modern construction supervisor, died suddenly while staying up late revising blueprints. When he opened his eyes, he had transmigrated into Zhu Youjian in the second month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen. Li Zicheng’s army was less than a month from the capital, the treasury was so empty mice could run through it, and the frontier troops were three months behind on their pay and close to mutiny. The empire stood at the edge of a cliff. In this desperate situation, the “Heavenly Fortune-Stealing System” activated. With 1,000 prestige points, he could buy theft cards: a basic card could steal supplies from his own side, and as he leveled up, he could even steal Li Zicheng’s provisions and pay, or the Qing court’s silver reserves. Knowing how history ended, Chen Mo resolved to use the System to raise military funds, set the government in order, and rewrite the fate of the Great Ming himself.
