A modern man transmigrates to the end of the Ming dynasty and becomes Li Zicheng, with nowhere left to turn.
No golden finger, no cheat, only defeated soldiers freezing in the bitter winter, government troops closing in, and enemies on every side.
He abandons the bad habits of a rebel bandit, steadying the army, securing his foundations, winning the people's support, and fighting to survive one step at a time.
He avoids every fatal historical defeat, holds the border passes, and repels the Qing army.
Starting out with the remnants of an army in Shangluo, he advances cautiously, turns the tide against the odds, brings peace to a chaotic age, and rebuilds the Central Plains.
