In 1572 AD, there were still 72 years before the Ming Dynasty fell and the country was lost. At this time, Japanese pirates were rampant in the southeast, and Tatars were knocking on the gates in the northwest. Local annexation was becoming increasingly serious, the military and government were exhausted, and the people were suffering. Emperor Longqing had just passed away. At this moment, Shi Yue transmigrated into the body of Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor, who had not attended court for thirty years. The good news is that Zhu Yijun had not yet ascended the throne at this time. He didn't have time to wreak havoc on the government. The bad news was that Zhu Yijun had not yet ascended the throne at this time. Feng Bao, the Grand Eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial, wanted to become the spokesperson for imperial power. Grand Secretary Gao Gong wanted to sideline the emperor and strengthen the cabinet. Second Grand Secretary Zhang Juzheng was wholeheartedly in charge of implementing the new laws. His only hope came from his birth mother, Li, who would often force him to kneel and write a self-reproach edict. The crumbling edifice lies before us, a central hub rife with intrigue and power struggles. The nation is shrouded in misfortune, hence the title "King of the World." Now that I have ascended the throne, if I do not come to save the world, who will?

This land is inhabited by dragons. Dragons come in all shapes and sizes, some roaming the rivers and seas, some soaring over high mountains, some hiding in the netherworld, and some leaping among the clouds. Once it rises up, it can swallow the wind and bring down snow, divert rivers and streams, unleash thunder and spew fire, and divide mountains and avoid the sea. Dragons also exist in this human world. A dragon among men, possessing lofty ambitions, brilliant strategies, the capacity to encompass the universe, and the will to swallow the heavens and earth. When the opportunity arises, one can turn the tide, determine the course of events, establish one's dominance, and prove oneself to be a dragon among men.
