In the autumn of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Shaanxi experienced a severe drought for three years. The land was bare for thousands of miles, and people were eating each other.
The historian Jiang Zijie died suddenly while staying up late to revise his thesis. When he woke up, he found that he was in the body of a fugitive man with the same name.
He has studied the history of the late Ming Dynasty all his life and knows everyone's ending, but he can't say anything.
He was incorporated into the Biao camp to select forwards and became Sun Chuanting's personal choice as a forward. Relying on his understanding of history and insight into human nature, he escaped death time and again on the battlefield and found hope in the cracks of power. From a young man who was captured, he gradually became Sun Chuanting's most trusted confidant; from a small pick, he grew into a general who commanded an army.
But he knew that all this was temporary.
The Ming Dynasty is going to die.
When that day really comes, Jiang Zijie faces the biggest choice in his life: to die for the dynasty he once loyal to, or to fight his way through this mountain of corpses and sea of blood.
He went from a weak scholar to a king with a different surname and a large number of soldiers. His name was engraved on stone tablets, written in history books, and praised by future generations.
Only he knows that he just wants to live.
