[Ming Dynasty + Chongzhen + Life Simulator + Decisive and Ruthless + Righting Past Wrongs]
The seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign, the eighteenth day of the third month. On the eve of the capital's fall, Zhu Youjian is driven to the brink. A cold prompt rings in his mind: [The Emperor's Life Simulator has been activated!], [You are currently in a “hopeless crisis, with the dynasty on the verge of collapse.” The first simulation will begin automatically...]
In the simulation, he sees with his own eyes what happens after his death: Wang Cheng'en dies alone alongside his sovereign; treacherous ministers open the gates to welcome the enemy, while Wei Zaode kneels and begs for mercy; the loyal soul of the Ming, Lu Xiangsheng, is left exposed in the wilderness, while Sun Chuanding fights a bloody, unsupported battle at Tong Pass!
When Zhu Youjian opens his eyes again, he cuts the noose with his own hands. “I've died ten thousand times already. This time, I'm going to live differently!”
You say the capital can't be defended? He turns around and stages a false abdication, using one enemy to kill another, then crosses the sea south with tens of millions in imperial funds to launch Ming Dynasty 2.0!
You say the civil officials love factional infighting? With the simulator in hand, he can tell at a glance who is loyal and who is a traitor! Qian Qianyi, you want to beg for mercy? Too late!
You say the Jurchen cavalry is invincible? Before the age of heavy firearms arrives, he'll give them a complete arsenal of “flintlock muskets and Hongyi cannons”!
Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanding, Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong... The heroes who shed their blood in the history books will live to see the day the Ming enjoys peace for generations!
I am Zhu Youjian. The Ming may fall, but it will never fall by my hand!
