The protagonist, Long Fei, is an ordinary man from the future city of Yangzhou who unexpectedly transmigrates into the army of Wu Sangui in 1644. That year, the Ming dynasty falls and Wu Sangui submits to the Qing. The Manchus pour through the passes, seize the lands of the Han, and a year later capture and massacre Yangzhou. With no other choice, Long Fei fights fiercely through wars and bloodshed, driven by the desire not to become a traitor, to survive, to save Yangzhou’s eight hundred thousand people, and to preserve Chinese civilization. In the end, he defeats the Qing, pacifies the realm, and restores the Han Ming dynasty. He then leads Chinese civilization overseas, conquers and destroys Japan, and competes for global supremacy with the rising Western powers. Expanding across all four oceans and five continents, he founds the “Greater Chinese Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets” and raises China to the pinnacle of the world.
