In 1886 AD, the Ottoman Empire was dying.
Great powers cut off its land, creditors grabbed its throat, and the Sultan's spies were spread throughout every corner of the palace. Chen Cheng, a history student at Tsinghua University, traveled through time and became the last prince of the empire, Murad, a useless man who was exiled to a seaside villa.
But he had in his mind the entire script for the next forty years of the empire.
Under the surveillance of the Sultan, he pretended to be sick and disabled, and played as a spy in the alleys of Istanbul. In an unnoticed beer hall, he stood on the cargo box and gave his first shout. When everyone was counting down to the imperial funeral, he picked up the baton of history.
This time, Osman will not die.
