Zhu Hong, a state-owned enterprise accountant who spends every day on tedious reconciliations, opens his eyes to find he has transmigrated into the bankrupt CEO of the Ming Group: Emperor Chongzhen.
It is now the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign. Li Zicheng's liquidation team has already stormed into Beijing, and the Ming Dynasty is on the verge of total collapse. The eunuchs have even brought him the white silk to hang himself on Coal Hill.
At this critical moment, he binds himself to the "Make the Ming Great Again" AI System.
He thought he would get modern weapons and sweep through the chaotic world, but the crappy AI has a serious bug: the timeline is all messed up.
The new player main quest it issues is: Host, please do not execute Wei Zhongxian right now!
This is a death sentence. Wei Zhongxian has been dead for seventeen years. There isn't even a scrap of bone left to find.
Since time can't be turned back and the dead can't be brought to life, Zhu Hong can only fall back on his forte: issue a new document to cover the bad accounts.
With a single imperial edict, he restores Wei Zhongxian's reputation, exploiting a bug in the System's judgment to the utmost. Then he leads his bankrupt little squad on a high-stakes escape, bluffing their way past the rebel army.
But escaping the capital is only the beginning.
With all of China engulfed in war and foreign powers watching hungrily, the difficulty is hellish.
How will Zhu Hong use this AI System, with its scrambled timeline but vast knowledge from across the ages, to turn around the Ming Dynasty's colossal pile of bad debt?
