——The journey of blood and fire between the time traveler and the eternal emperor
Chen Heng, a modern strategy expert, accidentally traveled through the late Warring States period and became a dying clerk in the Qin Dynasty's palace. With his prophetic knowledge of history and strategies that transcended the times, he quickly attracted the attention of young Ying Zheng and became the most secret counselor of the future "Eternal Emperor".
During the years of iron-blooded conquests, Chen Heng helped Ying Zheng reconstruct the strategy of "distance and close attack", established the "Black Ice Platform" intelligence network, and used cryptography and intelligence warfare to dismantle the six-nation alliance; he improved the range of the Qin crossbow and invented "compressed military rations", but he was deeply involved in the court because he touched the interests of the nobles; he pushed for the system of prefectures and counties, unified written currency, and became a cold-faced executor of the imperial system.
However, the road to reunification was full of blood: the tragic flooding of Xinzheng, the atrocities committed by Ying Chen and the massacre of the city, the controversy over burning books and humiliating Confucian scholars... When Liuhe finally unified, Chen Heng found that he had long been trapped in the whirlpool of power and morality. On the night of the great changes in the sand dunes, Ying Zheng died, and the power scheme reappeared. Chen Heng, who was falsely accused of treason by Zhao Gao, faked his death and escaped. He wrote his life's reflections into "The Book of Heng" and was buried beside the First Emperor's Mausoleum.
Two thousand years later, when this "diagnosis of civilization" reappeared in the world, the struggle and choices of a time traveler in the torrent of history were finally revealed - did he promote destiny, or was he swallowed by destiny? In this epic that combines intrigue, war and human torture, the answer may lie in the cracks hidden by the Iron Curtain.
"There are no just wars in a time of great strife, but the spark of civilization will always remain alive in the cracks in the Iron Curtain."
