[Late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty + mistaken identity + false identity + escape from troubled times + no system + passion + struggle for hegemony + no heroine] As an art student, Li Ping traveled to Kunming in the first year of Kangxi and became a down-and-out scholar who made a living by selling side paintings of beauties. By mistake, he was mistaken for Zhu Cijiong, the third prince of Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, also known as the legendary third prince Zhu. He was hunted down by the Pingxi King Wu Sangui who had just occupied Kunming. Li Ping's only way out was to flee south to Li Dingguo. Along the way, he experienced the sacrifice of his teammates, the brutal massacre by the Qing army, and the pursuit of Wu Sangui's elite Guan Ning cavalry. Finally, after going through untold hardships and dangers, he finally reached Li Dingguo's camp safely. An art student who only wanted to lie down has grown into a passionate young man who truly cares about the world and is determined to save the country. Going to Li Dingguo is just the first step. How will he reorganize the country and regain the confidence of the already desperate anti-Qing forces? Let's see how Li Ping creates a world in troubled times, expels the Tartars, and restores China!
