Passing Myself Off as a Zhu of the Ming Dynasty

Beijing falls, the Chongzhen Emperor hangs himself, and the real Crown Prince disappears. Wang Xu, an ordinary man from modern times, passes himself off as the heir to the throne and flees to Shanhai Pass.

The land descends into chaos, with danger lurking everywhere.

He persuades Wu Sangui not to let the Qing army through the pass, uses a white hat to sow discord between Haoge and Dorgon, and uses trenches to hold Li Zicheng at bay.

Later, as he gradually secures his footing in Shanhai Pass and strips Wu Sangui of his men, he begins to feel that perhaps he really should do something with his life in this world.

When the land is finally pacified, Wang Xu looks at Wu Sangui, bound before him with hemp rope, and asks with a smile:

“Wu Sangui, do you know your crime?”

Wu Sangui: “You treacherous villain, impostor prince! You stole my power, and Heaven will punish you!”

When Li Zicheng enthrones the real Crown Prince and his proclamation spreads throughout the land,

Wang Xu raises the sun-and-moon flag of Great Ming at Shanhai Pass and cries out, his voice resounding across the world: “Rebels and traitors dare lay hands on the imperial throne? I am here!”

When the resolve of an impostor kindles the true sun and moon of the realm,

Who will rule this land?
