People all over the world say that Ming Dynasty was destroyed by natural disasters and bandits, and Qing Dynasty was resurrected because of destiny.
But what if the history books were tampered with by the victors from the moment they were written? The land of China in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen was never a simple reincarnation of dynasties, but a strangulation of civilizations that spanned thousands of miles of ocean and was laid out for decades.
Thousands of miles of bare land in the north were filled with people dying of hunger; factions in the court were fighting endlessly, and the treasury was empty; the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River were rich and self-defeating, and the Shanxi merchants collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. Internal troubles have not yet been resolved, but foreign troubles have arrived: the six major powers in Europe have secretly signed an alliance, sent arms, tactics and skilled craftsmen, and devoted all their efforts to support the alien forces outside the customs. Those strange-looking people in power are not local tribes in the white mountains and black waters, but a mixed-race group from outside the country who are willing to become Western puppets.
Four years later, the mountains and rivers changed hands. The Ten Days in Yangzhou, the Three Massacres in Jiading, shaving off one's hair and changing clothes, burning books and destroying scriptures, seclusion... Tragedies that would bring disaster to the future have long been written into the destiny by the conspirators.
When Yang Zhaochen, a young man from the Ninth Gate of the capital, fell into a coma for three days after falling from his horse, the memories of his two lives were completely blended. He glimpsed the buried truth and saw through the shocking chess game of Chinese and foreign collusion. With the tradition of farming and studying in the Han family, and carrying the memory of three hundred years of blood and tears, in the chaotic world, this sober-minded young man is determined to buck the trend, break the mystery, eliminate traitors, resist foreign invaders, and protect his clothes and crown. After his soul has penetrated here, can he reverse the fate of China's three hundred years of decline?
