Synopsis

Historical what-if + no System + dual souls + hilarious wish-fulfillment. Close my eyes, and I see a crooked old locust tree. Open them, and I'm on the imperial bed in the Forbidden City, clad in the dragon robe and seated at the very pinnacle of power.

But another voice rings in my ears, filled with grief and despair: it belongs to the original Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian.

One imperial body, two souls.

One is the doomed ruler of a fallen dynasty, destined to hang himself at Coal Hill as his country and family are destroyed. The other is a modern visitor who knows the rise and fall of the centuries and is determined to save the nation.

At court, the Donglin faction watches like a tiger poised to strike. On the frontier, the Later Jin cavalry sharpens its blades. In the northwest, refugees are about to sweep across the land.

Everyone believes the new emperor is young and useless. Only the two of us know that from this moment on, the Great Ming, battered by storms, will never meet its end!
