Is the Great Ming Doomed? I Defy Fate with a Simulator

[Simulator] + [Traits] + [Great Ming] + [War] + [Thrilling Adventure]

On the eighteenth day of the third month of the seventeenth year of the Chongzhen reign, Li Zicheng's army reaches the city walls.

Zhu Youjian stands before the crooked tree on Coal Hill, a white silk sash in hand, ready to die.

Just before he can hang himself, the [Great Ming National Destiny Simulator] awakens!

[First simulation: You hold the city, but the eunuch Cao Huachun opens the gates and surrenders. You are hacked to pieces.]

[Second simulation: You flee south with a fortune, but civil officials from the Donglin faction betray you, and you die in captivity.]

[...]

Looking at ten thousand ways to die, Zhu Youjian sneers, tosses away the white sash, draws the Son of Heaven's sword, and lets murderous intent boil in his eyes.

"To hell with hanging myself on Coal Hill! I'm not dying!"

Slay treacherous ministers, seize their estates, crush the rebels, and pacify the Jurchens!

Dorgon: "He's gone mad! That tyrant has brought the Shenji Battalion all the way to Shengjing!"

Li Zicheng: "I thought we agreed he was a useless emperor. How is he more like a bandit than I am?"

This time, I will ensure the land beneath the sun and moon endures, and the Great Ming flourishes for all eternity!
