The Late Ming Record of Mending Heaven

In the first year of the Tianqi era, the Ming Dynasty stood on the brink of collapse.

The protagonist, who has transmigrated into this world, knows every fatal mistake made during the Chongzhen reign.

The fires of war in Liaodong, starving refugees in the northwest, gentry evading taxes, vassal princes hollowing out the nation, and endless factional strife... The seeds of the dynasty's fall have already been sown.

He relies neither on clever inventions nor on his own might. He lies low, balances rival interests, and reforms abuses, using institutions to break the deadlock. At the turning point between the Tianqi and Chongzhen eras, he stops the catastrophe destined to engulf the realm.

Rooted in history and driven by political maneuvering, this is an arduous attempt to save the late Ming from ruin.
