From the Start in the Qin Dynasty, I Present a Civilization Sandbox to Secure the Nation

I transmigrated to the end of the Qin dynasty and became a fangshi about to be buried alive. Just then, Ying Zheng flew into a rage, holding a sword to my throat as he ordered every fangshi in the land executed.

At the brink of death, I bound myself to the Civilization Evolution System and unveiled a mysterious sand table that could display maps of the realm, project military strength and national fortunes, and simulate the rise and fall of dynasties.

Its dynamic map revealed the borders of the Qin Empire. Realistic war simulations showed the conflicts among the states. Images of the future foretold the course of the ages. A single curve charting the nation's fortunes left the First Emperor deeply shaken.

When he demanded to know how long the Qin would endure and how vast its territory would be, I didn't speak of fate. Instead, I used the sand table to model the consequences of his policies.

Ease the corvee labor, improve farming tools, expand metallurgy, and clean up the bureaucracy. Step by step, I presented strategies for governing that were far ahead of their time.

The First Emperor honored me as a mysterious sage from beyond the world and moved me to the Lanchi Palace to recuperate. The officials revered me, while the eunuchs feared me.

With the sand table of the future in hand, I navigated the currents of the Qin court, established myself through wisdom, strengthened the state through strategy, corrected the Qin Empire's hidden weaknesses, and defied its destined fall in the second generation, helping Ying Zheng create an eternal Qin dynasty.
