   No system, no knowledge of history. On the night of Tumu Fortress, he transmigrated and killed Wang Zhen. He only reigned as emperor for a day, sending his double south only to be captured, while he led three thousand remaining soldiers north through hunger and cold. Snowfields, blizzards, starvation, wolf packs… No cheat codes, only survival in dire straits. Meanwhile, Zhu Qiyu in the capital, watching the empty treasury, defended the borders with Yu Qian. Two parallel storylines, one overt, one covert. This is the Ming Dynasty's toughest bone, its coldest blade.
