The story of "If Tokugawa Ieyasu Became Prime Minister" tells that in 2020, the new coronavirus was raging in Japan. Because the government failed to respond effectively in the early stages of the epidemic, a collective infection occurred in the Prime Minister's residence, and the then Prime Minister also died of the new coronavirus.

With Japanese society in unprecedented chaos and the Japanese people no longer trusting the government, the Japanese government has taken an unprecedented approach: using artificial intelligence and holographic imaging technology to revive historical figures and form a new cabinet.

Based on the screening of artificial intelligence, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Edo Shogunate, was finally chosen as Prime Minister, Sakamoto Ryoma, a reformist in the Meiji Restoration era, as Chief Cabinet Secretary, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, a politician in the Warring States Period of Japan, as Minister of Finance, and Oda Nobunaga, who promoted the unification of Japan, as Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry.

Although "If Tokugawa Ieyasu Became Prime Minister" is fictional, it not only satirizes the policies and methods of the then incumbent government, but also resurrects all the most famous Warring States generals in Japanese history. As a result, the novel became famous overnight and became a best-seller.
