In the winter of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen’s reign, Li Zicheng breaches Tong Pass, and the Ming dynasty enters its final countdown.
Modern crisis-management expert Zhou Huan transmigrates into the most unfortunate of sons-in-law to the emperor. At court, he is convicted for his words and impeached for “spreading heresy.” Beyond the capital, the rebel army is already advancing on Juyong Pass.
Before the court, he stakes his life on a military pledge: ten days to secure enough grain for the capital to last three months. If he fails, he will bind himself and beg for execution!
From then on, a modern mind that understands human nature and knows how to shape public opinion uses reports, data, psychological tactics, and limited knowledge of the future to fight against fate at the doomed empire’s end, striving to change the destiny of Chinese civilization.
This is no myth of one man saving a nation. It is the story of how a lone spark ignites the silent majority and, in history’s darkest hour, rewrites the path to survival for Chinese civilization.
