A distinguished member of the Ming imperial clan, Zhu Cunzhe is unexpectedly kidnapped by starving refugees and forced to become a rebel leader! After traveling back to the late Ming Dynasty, he never gets to enjoy the riches of a princely household. Instead, he inherits a refugee camp on the verge of collapse. With less than ten days of food left and the money and provisions stolen, does he want to escape? “You're becoming the chief, whether you like it or not!” With no way out, he decides to fight. Borrowing the name of a notorious bandit and posing as an advance commander, he leads just over thirty men to trick their way into obtaining warhorses and armor, then forces wealthy landowners to open their granaries and distribute grain. He subsequently divides the land, establishes rules, and trains new soldiers, transforming a group of starving refugees desperate merely to survive into a force sworn to defend their homes to the death. Just as life finally begins to look promising, the fake advance commander runs into the real bandit chief. Can he fool everyone and get away with it this time?
