Crisis at the End of the Ming: An AI in My Mind

How long could you survive in the late Ming with an artificial intelligence in your head? When Shen Yan wakes, the Ming dynasty has not yet fallen, but a blade is already at his throat. He has no household registration and no one to rely on. His only companion is Xuance, an AI that knows everything and can run predictions, but can't conjure half a sack of grain or see the murderous intent behind a smile. He knows how history ends, but not who will open the city gates tonight or who will frame him tomorrow. Here, saving someone costs grain, and investigating a case can cost your life. Saying the right thing may not keep you alive; saying the wrong thing could leave the people around you beyond saving. At first, Shen Yan only wants to find a way to survive. Until someone begins waiting for him to return. And deep in his mind, a record that should have died with him quietly gains four new characters: “Anchor still active.”
