In March of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Li Zicheng's army had broken through Juyongguan and arrived at the gates of Beijing. The Ming Dynasty was like a broken ship full of holes, about to sink in the storm. Above the court, the Donglin Party and nobles only care about their own interests, and the treasury is empty; within the capital, the plague is rampant and people are panicked. This is a situation where "the king dies and the country dies". Protagonist setting: Zhao Ce, a top modern crisis management expert, has an extremely rational personality and believes in "using the most important code in troubled times". The crossing node is the eve of Chongzhen's suicide at Meishan. What he inherited was an empire that was rotten to the core. There was no system or golden fingers. The only weapons were ruthless tactics that transcended the times and precise control of human greed. Core conflict: The protagonist must reverse the fatal outcome of Beijing's destruction within 48 hours. Faced with the crying poverty and betrayal of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, he decided to tear off the mask of "benevolent king", transform into Shura, and use extreme violent methods - ransacking homes, cleaning, and massacres, draining every drop of blood from the capital to support the defending army, thus changing his fate against the will of heaven.
