In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Beijing falls.
Crown Prince Zhu Cilang escapes, travels a thousand li south, and ascends the throne as emperor in Nanjing.
He thinks he's the most unfortunate person ever to transmigrate: no System, no golden finger, and a lost empire from the start.
Then he discovers he's not the only one who transmigrated into this world.
His personal eunuch is hiding a secret.
Something is wrong with Dorgon in the north, too.
So Zhu Cilang tears up the script.
"You may have golden fingers, but don't even dream of destroying the Ming dynasty."
