When Wei Wu opened his eyes, he found himself transported to the Qing Dynasty. The worst part was that he had inadvertently cuckolded Emperor Xianfeng. To survive, Wei Wu was forced to become a corrupt official. Domestically, he sold official positions and emptied the Qing treasury. Internationally, he fostered the Taiping Rebellion, traded supplies, and fabricated battle reports. Years later, Emperor Xianfeng, watching Wei Wu in his yellow robes outside the city, died coughing up blood.
