Schemes abound, and laughs never stop! Muskets roar, cannons thunder, grand infrastructure projects rise. He turns the tide when all seems lost, expands the realm, and rebuilds a prosperous China. Zhou Yunxiao, a modern engineering PhD, transmigrates to the final years of the Chongzhen reign and takes over the body of his namesake, the son of a court official known as a wastrel and a devil-may-care troublemaker.
Li Zicheng's forces reach Beijing, and the capital is on the brink of disaster. At the very moment Chongzhen raises his sword to kill Princess Zhaoren, Zhou Yunxiao steps forward and shouts, "Father-in-law, wait! Give me three years, and I'll give you a Ming dynasty as secure as an iron fortress!"
He introduces potatoes and sweet potatoes to save countless starving people, and develops muskets and cannons to repel powerful enemies beyond the passes. Zhou Yunxiao launches major infrastructure projects, devotes himself to farming and strengthening the nation, and dotes on Princess Zhaoren alone. Together, husband and wife outwit corrupt officials at court and face-slap one rival after another, leaving the entire court stunned.
Chongzhen beams with delight. "This son-in-law is more useful than an army of a hundred thousand!"
High-stakes conflicts and shocking reversals, with suspense mounting at every turn. Watch this transmigrated engineering prodigy and princess's consort defy fate on the eve of the dynasty's fall, balancing sweet romance with agricultural development as he forges the mightiest Ming dynasty in history!
