The Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor Yingzheng was the first emperor in Chinese history. His achievements in unifying the six kingdoms, unifying weights and measures, unifying writing, and building the Great Wall had a profound impact on China's feudal society and are still not praised by people today.
However, when he was young, Ying Zheng lived a life of a puppet for a long time. He was not crowned pro-government until he was 22 years old, nine years after he ascended the throne.
This novel tells the story of Ying Zheng before and after he takes office. It uses a lot of psychological monologue techniques to show a multi-faceted Ying Zheng who is both cowardly and perseverant, cruel and murderous yet kind and amiable.
Reader comments
The book is okay, there are a thousand Qin Wang Yingzheng for every thousand authors
The book is not long, but it is written with great care. Especially the protagonist Ying Zheng is very complex and down-to-earth, unlike many previous novels that deified Ying Zheng. It deserves five stars.
