Zhu Xiaojian woke up in the body of the Chongzhen Emperor and started livestreaming to the whole internet.
A million viewers wanted to teach him how to govern: collect taxes, suppress bandits, repel foreign invaders, develop cutting-edge technology, and save the decrepit Ming Dynasty.
But all he wanted was to earn enough gifts to go home, so he started livestream shopping: “Wei Zhongxian, kill him for 100 rockets, spare him for 200. Yuan Chonghuan, kill him for 500 rockets, spare him for 1,000…”
“Thanks to our generous boss, ‘Learning Knows No Bounds,’ for bidding on Wei Zhongxian! The boss is mighty, domineering, and absolutely awesome!”
The screen filled with comments saying “666.”
Later, famous figures from the late Ming, including Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui, Qian Qianyi, Cao Huachun, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chengzong, Mao Wenlong, and Qin Liangyu, all went up for auction.
As he kept selling them off, people began to realize that the Ming Dynasty hadn’t fallen after all!
How should I put it? [Chigua] It's really good in terms of historical science and hard-core plot, but it has a fatal flaw: the pace is too slow and it can't retain people.
