Zhu Yi transmigrates to North America in 1747 and discovers a village of Ming loyalists who still date the year as “the 345th year of Yongle.”
Outside the village are British colonists, armed with flintlocks and cannons.
His only advantages are an RV that can provide power and internet access, and a livestream room from 2026.
And so the strangest empire in history is born:
George Washington becomes his underling, Enlightenment ideas come from livestream comments, and online viewers crowdfund plans for flintlocks.
When the dragon flag of the “New Ming Republic” rises over North America, Zhu Yi turns his camera toward the Forbidden City:
“Qianlong, I’ll livestream your beheading. Get your descendants to send me a rocket, and I’ll make sure you die quickly.”
Millions of viewers in the livestream room: “Bro Yi, what a stunt. This is going down in history!”
