Great Qin: From the Start, I Awaken the Ancestor's Will and Become Regent

A modern military history enthusiast transmigrates by chance and becomes Hu Hai, the newly enthroned Second Emperor of Qin. With the scheming Zhao Gao inside the court claiming a deer is a horse, and the old nobility of the Six States outside stirring to bring down the empire, he awakens the Overlord Template System in the Imperial Ancestral Temple on the eve of his coronation. The System can not only simulate battles on a war map and teach formations from ancient and modern times, but also draw upon the courage and command talent of Xiang Yu, the Overlord. Using the System, he first sets a trap in the palace to kill Zhao Gao, purges the traitors, and wins over loyal officials such as Zhang Han and Meng Tian. He then pushes through military reforms far ahead of their time, including improved saddles and crossbows and the formation of heavy infantry. With the System's powerful simulations, he accurately predicts and crushes every uprising and conspiracy by the remnants of the Six States. From annihilating Xiang Yan's main force in a "counter-encirclement" at the original site of the Battle of Julu, to breaking apart the alliance of Qi and Chu nobles through economic and intelligence warfare, Hu Hai sustains war with war, crushing every opponent with the empire's immense strength and institutions. He shifts the empire's focus to building institutions and passing on technology, ultimately forging a powerful Qin that transcends its era and making a stunning comeback from "emperor of a fallen state" to "the greatest emperor of all time."
