During the war of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, was defeated in Jiugong Mountain and died without fulfilling his ambition. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the barren earth kang in northern Shaanxi when I was sixteen. The mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and achievements and failures in his previous life are still before his eyes - arrogance and loss of popular support, the collapse of military discipline, the tragedy of Shanhaiguan, the entry of Manchurian cavalry... In this life, he vows to make up for all regrets.
The reborn Li Zicheng is no longer just a saboteur wielding a sword. He gathered people's hearts at the end of the day, rectified military discipline with a vision that transcended the times, implemented policies to benefit the people such as "equalizing land and eliminating taxes" and "encouraging industry and commerce", and forged the rogue bandits into a new army with strict discipline and the people's heart. At every step, he was walking on thin ice. He had to fight against the extremely corrupt Ming Dynasty and the ferocious and greedy bureaucratic squires. He also had to be wary of the corruption and ambition growing inside. He also had to be constantly wary of the rising Houjin regime outside the border, which was like a wolf and a tiger.
However, fate always seems to arrange its opponents. Just when he thought everything was under control, a "variable" who also knew the direction of history, had a meticulous mind, and had an unpredictable stance quietly appeared, becoming the most unpredictable shadow and powerful enemy on his road to becoming an emperor. Are they going to work together to create a new world, or are they destined to fight each other?
This is a completely different path against fate. Watch how the reborn King Chuang repairs both internally and externally, destroys the old and establishes the new, and turns the tide against the fallen. In the end, he not only overthrows the Ming Dynasty, but also decisively defeats the outsiders and creates a new dynasty that truly belongs to the common people.
