Chongzhen's Shopping Cart

In the late Ming dynasty, the rebel Li Zicheng led his troops to capture Beijing. Wu Sangui, the commander of Shanhai Pass, brought Qing troops through the pass, and Emperor Chongzhen, surrounded on all sides, hanged himself from an old locust tree on Coal Hill with the eunuch Wang Cheng'en. In truth, the ones who died were stand-ins for Emperor Chongzhen and Wang Cheng'en. The real emperor and Wang Cheng'en had already transmigrated to a city in western China in the year 2000, taking the assumed name Li Xu. Wang Cheng'en, who had transmigrated with him, went by Zhang Shoucheng. Li Xu met a local young woman named Tang Yan and kept searching for a way to transmigrate back to the end of the Ming dynasty, hoping to change the outcome: dismiss Wu Sangui, kill Li Zicheng, and send troops to wipe out the Later Jin.
