On the night of March 17, the 17th year of Chongzhen, the city of Beijing was in danger, and Li Zicheng's army approached the city. In the Forbidden City, Chen Xuan, a history student, accidentally traveled through time and became Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
There is no system, no golden finger. His only reliance is an omniscient perspective on this period of history. He knew that Cao Huachun would present the city tonight, knew that Wu Sangui would eventually lead the Qing troops into the pass, and even knew about the white silk ribbon at Meishan two days later. Faced with a certain death situation, Chen Xuan refused to sit still and wait for death. He used his precognition of history to launch a thrilling reversal at the last moment: he opened the inner treasury to pay the army to calm the morale of the army, eradicated the traitors with thunderous means, defended the isolated city, and tried to contact famous generals such as Li Dingguo to turn the tide.
This is a race against time, and every decision is accompanied by tragic sacrifices and the fate of countless people. When the loyal minister Wang Chengen asked in surprise, "Who is your Majesty?" And when Dorgon's cavalry came knocking at the gate, Chen Xuan gradually understood in the baptism of blood and fire that what he was trying to change was not only the direction of history, but also his own soul. This is a tragic story about an ordinary person who was pushed to the forefront of history and tried his best to rewrite the fate of the country for the sake of survival and dignity.
