My Brother Is Chongzhen

In the final years of Chongzhen's reign, the realm was collapsing.

By accident, Zhu Cunji became the Prince of Qin, and from the start he found himself saddled with a rotten princely household and a rotten world.

No golden finger, no windfall from the heavens, only careful planning and seizing power from the jaws of danger.

He forged the battle-hardened remnants of a defeated army into a blade, made the eight-hundred-li Qin River plain his foundation, and built up troops, stored grain, and reformed the administration.

The momentum of history failed to crush him.

He rescued Chongzhen from Coal Hill and raised the banner of the royal army in Guanzhong. First he quelled internal strife, then drove out the northern invaders.

At last, as a prince, he reversed the Ming dynasty's doomed end and rebuilt the realm from end to end!
