On New Year's Eve in 2026 AD, there was a vision in the Ancestral Temple, and the sixteen Ming emperors from Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Youjian collectively traveled to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in parallel time and space. Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen, the enemies of Jingnan, met on a narrow road. Zhu Youjian, the king of the subjugated country, knelt down to greet Taizu. The wisdom of governing the country in the prosperous age and the end of the world collided here. Facing the desperate situation of time and space collapsing ten years later, the Sixteen Emperors must put aside centuries of grudges: Hongwu's iron fist, Yongle's ambition, Renxuan's rule, Chenghua's machinations, Wanli's scheming... All experiences and lessons are melted into one. What kind of new Ming will they create? And in the end, who will be left to protect the mountains and rivers they jointly saved? This is a self-rescue epic between emperors and history, systems and civilizations.
