Modern film-set prop maker Li Zhenxin unexpectedly transmigrates to Yan'an in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen's reign, embarking on a turbulent and arduous life in the dying days of the Ming Dynasty. He is the wool thief hated by the Manchus, a close sworn brother to the rebel armies of northern Shaanxi, and the Generalissimo for Conquering the Barbarians who inspires Emperor Yongli with both love and resentment. The Donglin faction denounces him as a worthless rascal not fit to plot with, while the people of northern Shaanxi revere him as the Mighty Tiger General. He puts Hong Chengchou on the traitors' list, establishes a medical college for Wu Youxing, and even convinces the eighty-year-old Song Yingxing to head north to Yan'an. He rekindles the people's spirit in the late Ming and rebuilds a whole new Great Ming!
