The story of Zhang Wuji, a modern strategic analyst, who accidentally transported his soul to Emperor Chongzhen who hanged himself in Meishan, and reversed his destiny in a desperate situation. Faced with the danger of national subjugation when Li Zicheng's army was approaching the city, Wu Sangui was on both ends, and the court officials were disloyal, he relied on modern knowledge and iron-blooded skills to innovate firearms, rectify the capital camp, purge the nobles, and stabilize his position in the bloody battle at Deshengmen, starting from tearing up the imperial edict of sin. The novel combines real history with bold imagination, depicting the tragedy of loyal ministers and generals such as Zhou Yuji and Sun Chuanting, and also revealing the corruption of officialdom and the complexity of human nature in the late Ming Dynasty. The protagonist's struggle between guarding the fire of civilization and the loneliness of the emperor constitutes a soul-stirring elegy for the apocalypse and an epic of rebirth.
