    This is a self-written and self-produced story. The protagonist's soul transmigrates to the Southern Ming Dynasty under the Hongguang Emperor. Amidst the changing tides, he juggles dealing with warlords, court officials, and gentry while simultaneously resisting the Jurchen invasion… It's not a wish-fulfillment novel; it focuses on an ensemble cast, is thought-provoking, and best enjoyed at a leisurely pace. It aims to vindicate the Southern Ming heroes who resisted the Qing Dynasty, a period often glossed over in historical records!
