Zhu Yue transmigrates into the most inconspicuous fourteen-year-old second son of Prince Rui's residence in the Ming Dynasty, and opens his eyes to a catastrophe.
Zhang Xianzhong's army is at the gates, the Qing army is about to invade, his father is indecisive, and civil officials are vying to surrender. Chongqing is on the brink of collapse.
Zhu Yue draws his sword in court and kills the official who advocated surrender, then sets out a plan to defend the city:
"Surrendering to Zhang Xianzhong means death. Surrendering to Li Zicheng makes us traitors. Waiting for reinforcements from the court is a fool's dream. We can only rely on ourselves!"
He wins the people's support, improves gunpowder, fortifies the city, and joins forces with Qin Liangyu's White-Pole soldiers to make the eastern Sichuan defensive line impregnable.
When Zhang Xianzhong and the Eight Banners of the Manchus have exhausted each other, he steps in to absorb the remnants of the Great Xi army and launches a northern campaign from Sichuan!
Years later, after unifying the realm, Zhu Yue is crowned emperor of the Ming Dynasty, king of Europe, khan of the grasslands, and great chief of the Americas...
