Traveling Through the Late Ming Dynasty and Changing the World

Zhu Qiming, 26 years old, factory quality inspector. One day a rune appeared on his chest, opening a door to the eleventh year of Chongzhen. At first, he just wanted to make quick money by reselling goods in the two worlds - the carrying capacity of five kilograms and the cooling down once every seven days were enough for him to be a happy second-hand dealer. But the true face of the late Ming Dynasty soon unfolded in front of him: drought locusts, plague, starvation, and the selling of sons and daughters. The day the little refugee girl died in his arms, he realized that he couldn't stand by and watch. He is an ordinary person who has received modern education. He is pragmatic and seeks truth from facts and does not tolerate suffering. When the Qing army entered the country and the killings and sufferings turned from history books to facts that were happening in front of him step by step, he made a choice that was almost crazy at that time - not only to survive, but also to change the direction of the world. But he has a bottom line: never claim to be emperor. What he wants to break is not only the Qing army, but also the imperial power that has lasted for two thousand years. This is not a story about "time travel and becoming king". The system only provides a door and a silent knowledge base, does not issue tasks, and does not guide choices. Every growth of the protagonist comes from his own pain and awakening. In the story, there are lovers walking side by side, ordinary people trapped by the times, and an ideal that is imperfect but worth fighting for.
