I Become Li Si, and Brother Zheng and I Rule the World Together

History professor Qin Xian wakes from a car accident to find himself Li Si, locked in a Xianyang prison.

Outside the bars, the young Ying Zheng fixes him with a dark, piercing stare. “You said you would help me sweep across the Six Kingdoms?”

Qin Xian offers him an improved papermaking technique. “This can carry proclamations across the realm and break the Six Kingdoms' resolve.”

On the night Han Fei arrives in Qin, he steps between him and a cup of poisoned wine. “Your Majesty, the law can strengthen the state, and Confucianism can bring peace to the people.”

As Ying Zheng lies dying at the Sand Dune palace, he clutches Qin Xian's hand. “I entrust my empire... to you, sir.”

When Qin Xian burns the forged imperial edict, a shard of bronze in his sleeve suddenly grows hot, and mysterious characters appear on it: the last thing he saw before the car accident.
