The coal mountain hangs one's neck, the country is ruined and the family is destroyed. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian hanged himself under the crooked neck tree, but was reborn on the eve of Tianqi's seventh year of ascending the throne. What's even better is that his nemesis Wei Zhongxian also came back with memories of his past life - one wanted to atone for his sins and save his life, and the other wanted to change his destiny against the will of heaven.
In this life, Chongzhen is no longer a loner. He conquered Wei Zhongxian as the "general manager of royal affairs" and based on the Gewu Tianshu, he built cities with cement, warmed the people with honeycomb coals, roared steam engines, and installed bolt-action rifles.

It is also a song of the prosperous times when the emperor and empress join hands, the king and his ministers get along with each other, and the Han Dynasty continues to prosper.
