On the night when Songshan City was destroyed, the captured Ming Dynasty Governor Hong Chengchou waited for an unexpected visitor. Concubine Zhuang did not persuade him to surrender, but only negotiated a deal - to use his seed to create the smartest emperor for the Qing Dynasty.
A few years later, smallpox entered the palace, and the three-year-old emperor was critically ill and left the palace to "avoid pox" and never came back. A child raised in a village outside the palace entered the palace with the same name, ascended the throne at the age of three, and changed his reign to Kangxi. The regent's suspicion, the emperor's dethronement, the powerful ministers' military attack, and the name of the real dragon - all the way to the top of Mount Tai, he dared to say to the sky what no one dared to say: Can a borrowed name become a real king?
