This is a quirky, humorous tale of an ordinary man's adventures during Qin's conquest of the Six Kingdoms, told with a playful take on history.
Chen Gousheng experiences the grand historical process of Qin's unification firsthand as Chen Gong, a low-level functionary.
Volume Two continues with the story of the Qin Dynasty's fall after just two generations, still told from the perspective of the little man Chen Gousheng.
In short, it's a collection of odds and ends from the Qin Dynasty, the first unified empire in our history.
