Building an Empire as Emperor

In 1644, amid the turmoil of the Jiashen Incident, the heartbroken Chongzhen Emperor, filled with regret, hanged himself on Coal Hill and gave his life for his country.

Modern special forces soldier Zhu Cheng dies in the line of duty. His heroic spirit travels through time and possesses the Prince of Lu of the Ming dynasty, who is destined to have his head cut off by the Manchus in a year.

Unwilling to die, and even less willing to be enslaved by the Manchus, Prince Zhu decides to fight back with everything he has, wiping out every reactionary who dares to rebel and completely changing his own fate and that of countless people across the land.

Ahem, Your Highness, bragging may not be taxed, but surely you should rein it in a little. What makes you think you can pull this off?

What makes me think so? It’s not that I’m a braggart. I have the greatest golden finger of all: the Age of Empires System. Tell me, is that enough?

Uh… Your Highness is amazing! May you rule for a thousand generations and unite the world!

Get lost! I’m no Auntie Dongfang, you eunuch!

With the empire in my hands, I shall look down upon the entire world!
