Pledge loyalty to the Ming court? I, Sun Chuanting, will flip the table and rebel!
Wang Chi, a modern man, transmigrates into Sun Chuanting at the end of the Ming dynasty, just as the Chongzhen Emperor orders him to march out of the pass and fight what seems like a hopeless battle.
Unwilling to be buried alongside the corrupt Ming dynasty, he raises an army in Guanzhong and declares himself independent, founding the Great Qin.
He reclaims wasteland, encourages farming, and reforms the bureaucracy, putting down roots in Guanzhong and building his strength. As he confronts the Ming, the Qing, Li Zicheng, and other powers in a standoff at the end of the Ming dynasty, he must also keep an eye on warlords carving out territories, such as Zhang Xianzhong and Qin Liangyu.
The various powers wage war against one another as they compete for supremacy at the end of the Ming dynasty.
