Historical Truths Exposed: Qin Shi Huang Didn't Die of Illness

Lin Zhou, a master's graduate in history, had spent three years after graduation becoming a nobody on the history side of the internet, with fewer than a thousand followers. On the night he was about to delete his account and disappear, a panel appeared before his eyes: the Historical Truth Review System, successfully bound. First review assignment: the death of Qin Shi Huang. On a strange impulse, Lin Zhou recorded a video claiming that Qin Shi Huang had not died of illness, but had been murdered. Overnight, the video was dragged into the trending topics, and the whole internet accused him of making things up for views. Then, three days later, the archaeological team at Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum announced a new discovery that happened to confirm one detail in Lin Zhou's video. Those who had condemned him fell silent. Just then, a warning message arrived on his phone: Stop reviewing history. Some things should never be dug up. Lin Zhou ignored it and kept going: What was buried at Sanxingdui? Where did Xu Fu go when he sailed east? Why has Genghis Khan's tomb never been found? As he investigated one mystery after another, he discovered that all these buried historical truths ultimately pointed to the same thing: immortality. And it seemed he had been part of this grand review all along. This novel and its characters are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental. Do not imitate.
