Traveling through the nine years of Chongzhen, my golden finger knows the history, but history tells me: the Ming Dynasty will perish in eight years.
Chen Mo traveled through time and became a small flag of Jinyiwei, and the original owner was silenced. The clue points to the will-o'-the-wisp case, behind which is the salt tax corruption of the chief minister Wen Tiren.
As a graduate student in the Department of History, he knew that in the ninth year of Chongzhen's reign: Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor, Li Zicheng gained momentum, and the party struggle in the court was fierce. And he was at the center of the storm.
Using modern criminal investigation thinking, he solved the flaw in the will-o'-the-wisp case; relying on historical knowledge, he predicted his opponent's killer moves. But when Zui Chunlou Liu Ruyan revealed the truth about "Beidou Soul Locking", and the appointment at the Tutu Temple became a life-and-death bet, Chen Mo realized that history is predictable, but people's hearts are unpredictable.
In this time traveler's game of power, the bet is the Ming Dynasty, and the bargaining chip is his own life.
Where is the trump card? Historical knowledge and the unyielding will of the travelers.
