The Qin Empire succeeded and Li Si failed.
After reading this book, I believe that there will be retribution in this world.
For example, in this book, Li Si did not meet Han Feizi, does that count as his knowledge?
If Li Si is talented but doesn't have Han Fei's knowledge, will he be able to stand out😌
A vivid and colorful restoration of history
