Chongzhen's Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Rise of Wei Zhongxian

In the first year of the Chongzhen reign, a modern soul transmigrates into the newly enthroned Zhu Youjian. Faced with the Donglin faction’s stranglehold on the court, he refuses to execute Wei Zhongxian and instead takes him into his service, turning him into the “Emperor’s Blade.” From then on, Zhu Youjian wields Wei Zhongxian as a weapon, embarking on a campaign to reform the court, recover funds lost to corruption, and secure the empire. He engages in an ongoing struggle with the Donglin faction.
