I woke up as Chongzhen, the ruler of a dynasty on the verge of collapse.

The Eight Banners' cavalry surrounds the capital from without,

while factional strife, waves of refugees, and an empty treasury plague the court within.

In history, I diligently governed for seventeen years, only to die by suicide at Coal Hill.

This time, I have returned with a modern mind!

The emperor guards the nation's borders; the ruler dies for his land!

Anyone who suggests fleeing south will be executed!

Anyone who suggests making peace will be executed!

Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Qin Liangyu: I will give you a stage!

Reform the capital garrison, restore military discipline, and make officials and gentry pay grain taxes alike!

Hong Taiji? I will lead the northern expedition and destroy the Qing!

The rebels? I will root them out!

I will defend this realm!

I will restore the Ming dynasty!
