Reversal in 1640: Returning to the Late Ming to Become a Rebel King

I woke up to find I had become Li Zicheng, the man left with just eighteen horsemen in the Shangluo Mountains.

Looking at Liu Zongmin, gaunt and starving beside me, I knew it was time to rewrite history.

A hell-mode start? No, this is the perfect comeback story!

Other transmigrators get a System. I have the advantage of five thousand years of history!

Gunpowder is just the beginning. Institutions are the trump card!

When I kill Prince Fu, I want more than his money and grain. I want the hearts of his people!

When I fight Sun Chuanting, I don’t just want to win. I want to forge the military soul of a future empire!

When I recruit Li Yan, I want more than his strategies. I want to establish an entirely new order!

While Chongzhen is still bickering with his ministers at court and Hong Taiji watches from beyond the frontier, I’ve already planted the seeds of an Industrial Revolution in Luoyang.

This is a story of a modern soul crushing the chaos of the ancient world.

This is the story of a nobody... no, the story of a new generation of rebel king, reshaping Huaxia.

Watch me carve a bright new world out of the desperate wilderness of the Shangluo Mountains!
