A Low-Ranking Officer in Jiaodong at the End of the Ming Dynasty

He had just been promoted to section chief when he worked overtime and died suddenly. When he opened his eyes again, he was a junior officer at a garrison in Jiaodong in the fourteenth year of the Chongzhen reign.

A quick calculation told him Yuan Chonghuan had already been executed by lingchi, Hong Chengchou's Songjin defensive line had just collapsed, and the Qing army would march south into China in just five years.

After taking in his memories, he realized that his great-uncle, Zuo Maodi, the "Wen Tianxiang of the late Ming," would die for his country in just four years.

And counting further back, there were only three years until the Rebel King entered the capital and the Chongzhen Emperor hanged himself.

But for now, the biggest problem was what to do about the young widow lying beside him, brought in to bring him good luck.

Should he go for it, or go for it, or go for it?
