Reborn as Wanli: Rising from Beggar to Emperor

During the Wanli era, the imperial city rises in grandeur and the streets bustle with noise. Amid the music at Mingke Pavilion, schemes of romance and desire unfold; beneath the bridges, cold rain bears witness to desperate struggles. Chen Ye, who transmigrates from the modern world, starts with a bowl to his name and ends up a beggar, but hardship cannot blunt his edge. He happens upon the lovesick Li Jia and sees through Du Shiniang's ploy to drive others away. Under the guise of a "loyal servant," he takes shelter in Liu Yuchun's little courtyard. As he helps Li Jia see reason and unravels the brothel's schemes, he uses his modern knowledge to turn his fortunes around, step by step, amid the bustle of life in the Ming capital. Romance leads people astray, and the human heart is hard to fathom. See how a transmigrated beggar wields his wits like a blade, breaks free from the shackles of fate amid the constraints of a feudal dynasty, and writes his own legend in the Ming.
