Archaeological researcher Zhu Tong accidentally transmigrates while cataloguing a gold seal belonging to a Ming prince's heir. He becomes Zhu Pingtong, heir to the Prince of Shu in the seventh year of the Chongzhen reign. According to the history books, ten years later, when Zhang Xianzhong breaches the city, this heir and his entire household will throw themselves down a well.
He knows better than anyone what the next ten years will bring: the Great Gathering at Xingyang, the defeat at Songshan and Jinzhou, the upheaval of 1644, and the fall of the Central Plains.
Fortunately, hidden inside the gold seal is a star chart of the Twenty-Eight Mansions. Win over a brilliant talent and light up a mansion, and he'll earn a generous reward: superior seeds, blueprints, formulas, all practical things that can save lives. Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Qin Liangyu, Li Dingguo, Zheng Chenggong, Song Yingxing... He'll find these people, who were fated to perish in turbulent times, one by one.
The prince's residence has money, Shu has grain, and he has time. Watch as a man who knows how history ends rewrites this rotten history, stroke by stroke.
