In the 37th year of Emperor Qin Shi Huang's reign, the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, stood before the Palace of Shaqiu and gazed up at the stars.
"Since ascending the throne, I have conquered the six states and unified China, standardized the width of roads and the written language, conquered the Baiyue and defeated the Xiongnu, built the Great Wall, and settled troops to guard the borders."
"The Great Qin Empire's borders are secure, and the realm is at peace. I have made five tours to the east, and my awe-inspiring might holds sway over the world."
"Now that my fifth eastern tour is about to end, Zhao Gao, tell me, what should I do next?"
Zhao Gao: "I dare not presume to guess Your Majesty's thoughts."
The First Emperor sighed. "I shouldn't have asked you! The loneliness of being unrivaled is something you wouldn't understand."
Suddenly, ripples spread through the air, and a black hole appeared in front of the First Emperor...
This novel and its characters are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental. Do not imitate.
In the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor's fifth tour to the east, he had a dream in the Sand Dune Palace. Zhao Gao and others secretly did not announce the mourning. Because of the hot weather, they were afraid that the corpse would rot, so they filled it with salted fish to cover up the smell. Is this true? Did the famous First Emperor Ying Zheng end his life like this? Wang Ben, who had done so much to conquer the Six Kingdoms, disappeared from history forever after the First Emperor made several eastward tours after the Six Kingdoms were destroyed. What exactly did he go through?
