The Wise Monarch of Wanli
In the year 1572 AD, seventy-two years remained before the fall of the Ming dynasty and the loss of its realm. At this moment, wokou pirates ran rampant along the southeastern coast, Tatars hammered at the northwestern frontiers, local land annexation grew increasingly dire, the military and bureaucracy were exhausted, the common folk struggled in misery, and the Longqing Emperor had just passed away. It was precisely then that Shi Yue transmigrated into Zhu Yijun—the historical Wanli Emperor, notorious for neglecting imperial court sessions for thirty years. The good news: Zhu Yijun had not yet ascended the throne. He hadn't had time to ruin state affairs yet. The bad news: Zhu Yijun had not yet ascended the throne. Feng Bao, the Seal-holding Eunuch of the Directorate of Ceremonial, wanted to act as the proxy of imperial power. Senior Grand Secretary Gao Gong wanted to reduce the emperor to a figurehead and empower the Grand Secretariat. Second Grand Secretary Zhang Juzheng was single-mindedly determined to take the reins of government and push through new reforms. His only reliance, his birth mother Lady Li, still punished him with kneeling at every turn and forced him to write self-condemning edicts. ... A collapsing dynasty loomed right before his eyes, while daggers and shadows clashed in the central halls of power. To bear the realm's misfortunes is to be king of the world. Now that I have ascended the throne, if I do not save this world, who will?

Kuo Jin
'Kuo' has two meanings: one is 'to expand,' the other is 'to clear.' Having found yourself in the age of the Eastern Jin and the Sixteen Kingdoms, you should strike out boldly in midstream, vow to launch a northern expedition, first drive the Five Barbarians out of the Central Plains, then sweep away the aristocratic clans and powerful families of the court. This is what is called clearing the realm, founding a new enterprise, and carrying on Huaxia. That's the theory. But in the autumn of Yonghe 5 (AD 349), once a transmigrator arrives in the Eastern Jin and becomes one of its most common refugees, the first question is: how do I survive this winter? How do I keep from falling below the 'kill line'? Yet another old, well-worn transmigration tale.
