The Ming dynasty's last years — with zombies. A middle-schooler reincarnates as the lost crown prince and hunts steam-engine blueprints in the Yongle Encyclopedia.

In 1642 a meteor falls on Kaifeng and the dead start eating the living. Two years later a modern teenager wakes as Zhu Cilang, the Ming crown prince, racing the fall of Beijing with zombies, court scheming and a DIY industrial revolution.
