In the winter of the second year of Longwu, Zhu Youlang ascended the throne in Zhaoqing and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Yongli.
A modern college student who is familiar with the history of blood and tears in the Southern Ming Dynasty traveled through time and became the last emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty who was destined to live in exile for sixteen years and was finally strangled to death by Wu Sangui's bowstring on Gizipo.
He clearly has a way out: stay away from all historical nodes, survive 1662 incognito, and then escape safely. But the hundreds of thousands of dead souls from the massacres in Yangzhou, Jiading, Jiangyin, and Guangzhou haunted his heart, and he could not sit back and watch the mountains and rivers being massacred again.
The whole text has no system, no plug-ins, and no special cheats. The protagonist only relies on the historical records in his mind. But whenever he changes a single bit of historical facts, an unpredictable butterfly effect will occur, and the advantages brought by prediction will continue to be lost in the flames of war, sacrifices, and misjudgments.
Internally, he mediated the court to check and balance Ding Kuichu, resolved the deadlock between Yongli and Shaowu's brothers, and gathered the displaced loyalty camp; externally, he defended the isolated city of Zhaoqing, set up an ambush at Wengcheng in Guangzhou, and witnessed countless soldiers including Wan Nian's father and son sacrifice their lives for the country.
He ran around as an emperor, urging the two southern Ming forces to put aside their old grudges and jointly write "Unite the Imperial Guards".
This is not a smooth sailing story. A group of people in troubled times, whose ending has been nailed down by history books, are using flesh and blood as pawns to fight desperately for a slim chance of survival on the broken end of the Ming Dynasty.
