In 1644 AD, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian hanged himself in Meishan, holding the imperial seal in his arms - and died.
Three hundred and eighty years later, he opened his eyes and found himself lying on a tattered shelf in an antique shop. The dragon robe was wrinkled like pickles, and the jade seal was regarded as a paperweight by the shop owner Li Fugui, who valued it at "fifty yuan."
My country has been destroyed for four hundred years, and all my ministers have been wiped out. My imperial seal is only worth fifty yuan?
Before Chongzhen could digest this absurd reality, even more outrageous things followed - as long as he touched the cultural relics, the "Ming Dynasty Insight" would be activated: the year of firing of blue and white porcelain, the casting craftsman of copper coins, the secret inheritance of calligraphy and painting... All the truth was invisible to him.
In the underground palace of Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty in Nanjing, Chongzhen met Wei Zhongxian's ghost and learned a shocking inside story: Wei Zhongxian faked his death, and Luo Sigong, the commander of the Imperial Guard, teamed up with outsiders to steal half of the Ming Dynasty's treasures. Luo Sigong also traveled to modern times through the spell of the jade seal, and was secretly running a transnational cultural relics black market empire.
What's even more fatal is that Luo Sigong holds the fragments of the "Yongle Dadian" in his hands, which records the ultimate secret of the jade seal——
It is a door to time and space that can go back to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen.
When Emperor Chongzhen stood in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City, facing the confrontation between one hundred and eight ghost guards and twelve golden warriors, his choice would change two eras.
——This is not only a story of a subjugated king looking for treasures and being slapped in the face, but also a legend of an emperor re-searching for "what is the world" after four hundred years.
