Synopsis

As everyone knows, the turning point in the Ming dynasty's decline was the Tumu Crisis of 1449. For nearly two centuries afterward, the dynasty teetered on the brink, and its emperors grew ever more eccentric, their absurd exploits ever more spectacular.

This story follows an idealistic vision and a hopeful wish: Li Shimin, a historical figure renowned for both civil and military achievements, transmigrates into Zhu Qizhen during the Battle of Tumu, leading the Ming army back from the brink and turning the tide...

Afterward, he leads a great army west across the Mongolian steppes, finally resolving the Mongol threat that the early Ming emperors, from Hongwu and Yongle to Hongxi and Xuande, had never fully eliminated. He breaks the rising Oirat tribe, conquers Xinjiang, and restores the territory of the Tang dynasty at its height.
