This is not originally a transmigration story. It tells of the struggles of two obscure men in the Qin Dynasty.
Hei Fu, mistreated in the army until his mind is warped, eventually becomes a great villain who slaughters the innocent indiscriminately.
Does the early Hei Fu remind you of your younger self? You were repeatedly bullied at school and couldn’t even manage to die, but surely you fought back, didn’t you?
The other man, Nie Wuxing, has the protagonist’s aura. Clever, perceptive, and generous with his wealth, he eventually becomes a top-level power broker in the Qin Empire. Isn’t his glorious rise what you and I aspire to?
Since the protagonist’s aura was so dazzling that it exceeded what an ordinary person could psychologically endure, the story was changed into a transmigration novel.
