Meng Lang is a downtrodden modern office worker. One day, he dies suddenly from working overtime and is thrown by a System into a parallel-universe Qin Dynasty. The System's mission for him is absurd: make the Qin Dynasty, which should have fallen after just two generations, last a thousand years! To do so, he must eliminate every villain threatening the dynasty: Zhao Gao, Li Si, Liu Bang, and Xiang Yu. Not one can be spared.
From the start, he stirs up a hornet's nest. After killing Zhao Gao's younger brother in the eunuch quarters of Xianyang Palace, Meng Lang is wanted across the country. Armed with modern weapons, he wreaks havoc everywhere, only to find that every historical figure is a handful: Xiang Yu has a “Conqueror's aura” that makes him immune to bullets, Liu Bang's whereabouts are a mystery, and Lü Zhi throws herself at him, though she will become a ruthless villain in the future.
To make matters worse, the System vanishes after giving him a beginner's gift pack, leaving Meng Lang to struggle alone in the Qin Dynasty. He must dodge Zhao Gao's assassins, guard against Fan Zeng's schemes, and constantly worry that changing history will bring divine retribution. What breaks him most is that if he fails the mission, he'll have to go back to working 996!
In this chaotic age when human life is worth less than grass, Meng Lang has modern weapons in hand but can barely take a step. Can he defy fate and make the Qin Dynasty last a thousand years? Or will he become the most miserable transmigrator in history? A thousand-year-spanning game of survival begins...
