The Legend of Qin: The First Emperor’s Twin Brother, Forging the Foundation of Great Qin for Eternity

As the younger brother born of the same mother as the First Emperor, Zhao Yan’s fortunes changed for the better when King Qin Ying Zheng ascended the throne. From a down-on-his-luck royal prince, he became the hottest figure in Qin. Just as he was quietly congratulating himself, he discovered that this Great Qin was nothing like the one he remembered. Gai Nie: “Young Master Yan has ordinary talent and aptitude, yet he’s strangely fond of light-footed techniques. I can’t make sense of it. But when it comes to governing the state, he is truly a pillar of Qin.” Wei Zhuang: “A brilliant mind on par with Han Fei...” Ying Zheng: “Lazy, but dependable. Easygoing, yet inexplicably stubborn in certain matters. A founder of Great Qin’s imperial ambitions, comparable to Jiang Shang of Zhou and Yi Yin of Shang.” Fu Su: “A kind uncle. He seems to know everything...” Come on, who wants to work this hard? I’m an ambitious young man whose life goal is to take it easy! But it all began when Ying Zheng issued the expulsion order against foreign guests. (The story begins with The Legend of Qin: Nine Songs.)
