Zhu Qiming, a 50-year-old Nankai University professor, takes his 17-year-old son, Zhu Xiaoxin, to study in New York. They find America overrun with homeless zombies and filled with deadly danger, its civilization and living conditions worse than back home. Zhu Qiming wants to take his son home to continue his studies, but the two argue. Zhu Qiming falls from a pedestrian bridge and transmigrates into the body of the 17-year-old Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming dynasty. The Ming dynasty has just 17 years left before its fall. Its treasury is empty, and corpses lie for miles; danger lurks everywhere. Now, the father and son, both still 17, struggle to survive through the final days of two empires on the brink of collapse. Using quantum communications, they stay in touch and support each other with their cheat abilities, each fighting their way to survival.
