A scholar of Ming history who stayed up late writing papers turned out to be one of the shortest-lived emperors in history—Zhu Changluo.
Only four days after he ascended the throne, the countdown to his death suddenly started: with only twenty-six days left, he would die suddenly in a series of poisonous schemes involving beauties, laxatives, and red pills, and he would not even be able to officially use his reign title.
Deep inside the palace, Concubine Zheng is eyeing her; in both the government and the public, undercurrents of party strife are surging, and murderous intentions are everywhere around her.
Thousands of miles away, Nurhachi invaded Liaodong, and a large area of land fell into the hands of foreigners.
But no one could have imagined that this frail emperor pretended to be a 20-year-old modern soul who understood all the trends of history.
He sees through all the murderous plots at a glance, decisively rejects beauties, rejects elixirs, finds traitors, win over loyal ministers such as Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, and changes his destiny step by step.
There are only twenty-six days left in a life-and-death bet. Let's see how the modern academic emperor can tear up the deadlock of history, sit firmly in the desperate situation, and save the crumbling Ming Dynasty!

It's so well written, why no one was attracted by the palace fight at the beginning, and the rhythm is well controlled. Although I have only watched part of it, I still want to ask if the protagonist cannot die, and if he dies, will Xizong's succession to the throne follow the same old path again. .
