Historical mystery + sci-fi transmigration + dark comedy
Xu Fu, a postgraduate archaeology student, unexpectedly transmigrates into the Qin Dynasty as the fangshi Xu Fu, only to become entangled in an interstellar conspiracy that overturns everything he knows: an alien biochip is embedded in Ying Zheng's skull; the burning of books and burying of scholars was meant to destroy bamboo slips engraved with interstellar coordinates; and the floating antigravity coffins in Mount Li's mausoleum are actually beacons guiding an alien fleet. Bound to the “Historical Correction System,” Xu Fu must use modern technology and dark humor to fight for survival in a Qin Dynasty coming apart at the seams.
"When science meets the supernatural"
He uses black powder to blast open a quantum cannon secretly kept by Ying Zheng, recreates life-size Meng Tian figurines with a 3D printer, and even discovers that Lü Buwei's Spring and Autumn Annals of Master Lü is actually an alien equipment manual!
"When history becomes a lie"
The scholars buried alive for their Confucian beliefs turn out to be mechanical spies, Xiang Yu's double pupils are the result of genetic modification, and the Great Wall's beacon towers are actually orbital cannons. Xu Fu gradually discovers that he is the “Observer” chosen by the Orion civilization.
"When transmigrators fight transmigrators"
More absurdly, Li Si writes his memorials in simplified Chinese, Zhao Gao's mechanical arm can transform into a laser sword, and even Xiang Yu climbs out of a cloning pod and calls him “Dad.”
In this interstellar game of Werewolf spanning past and present, Xu Fu grips a power bank in his left hand and black powder in his right as he uncovers the ultimate truth in the rift between history and science fiction.
This is a strange tale that would leave Sima Qian speechless and make The Three-Body Problem weep, revealing the truth behind why Qin Shi Huang was “off”: he was an “administrator” planted by an alien civilization, and Xu Fu's mission is to wrest history from the script of interstellar colonization and set it back on a normal course.
