Product manager Cheng Xiaowen died suddenly in the middle of the night, and when he woke up, he became the Mingxin King Zhu Youjian - tomorrow, he will ascend the throne and become Emperor Chongzhen.
He knew that the Forbidden City was a cannibal prison, and he even knew that the crooked-necked tree would be waiting for him seventeen years later. At this moment, Wei Zhongxian, the powerful eunuch, is setting up a dragnet to turn him into a second puppet.
Nine thousand years old holds Dongchang and Jinyiwei in his hands, and the court is full of eyes and ears. Even every bite of food in the palace is a trap. But Cheng Xiaowen has a weapon that Wei Zhongxian could not imagine - he knows the script of history and knows how to play information warfare.
A sleepless night, a long sword, twelve guards, and a few pieces of dry food. This is not the story of a "wise king", but a fateful battle of wits and courage between a modern soul and the entire era in the afterglow of the empire.
When the hunter becomes the prey, who is the final winner?
