In the third month of the Jiasen year, beneath an ancient cypress on Coal Hill, the Chongzhen Emperor hanged himself. The nation fell, and families were destroyed.
Transmigrated as Zhu Cilang, the last crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, he finds himself in a slaughterhouse from the very start. The Forbidden City has fallen, and the rebel army is as savage as wolves and tigers. His own family betrays him. His maternal grandfather, Zhou Kui, personally hands him over to the rebels as a token of submission, hoping to secure his own wealth and status in the new dynasty!
At the brink of despair, he awakens the Heroic Spirit Summoning System.
They drink blood on the battlefield, then their souls return.
Collect ten unyielding souls, and he can manifest a battle-hardened heroic spirit from the river of history!
They are not cold, lifeless puppets. They have the full range of human emotions and desires. They grow tired, feel hunger, bleed, and can even fall in battle for good!
But they possess bodies three times stronger than ordinary people, and loyalty that lasts until death!
"With my blood, I shall reforge the sun and moon!"
Slay one enemy, and earn one merit point.
From ten, to a hundred, to ten thousand... until a hundred thousand heroic spirits rise again!
When Li Zicheng watches his elite rebel troops torn to shreds and falls into despair; when Dorgon trembles before those flesh-and-blood warriors who never retreat and possess the strength of charging bulls; when the gentry of Jiangnan kneel beneath the iron hooves and weep bitterly...
Zhu Cilang draws his bloodstained imperial sword and stands before an army of a hundred thousand heroic spirits, gazing down upon the realm: "The martyrs are dead, yet they are still willing to shed their blood once more for the Han realm. How dare you traitors claim that Heaven's Mandate is yours?"
