Reborn as Zhao Gao

I was reborn in the Qin Dynasty, opening my eyes on the execution ground in Xianyang.

The pain of being betrayed by Yi Xiaochuan in my previous life still burned within me as the executioner raised his blade.

This time, I fell to my knees before the presiding official first. “Sir, I know the secrets of health and longevity!”

While Yi Xiaochuan was still denouncing the tyrannical Qin in a stirring speech, I had already entered the palace to prepare elixirs for the First Emperor.

While he was hauling bricks on the Great Wall, I was using modern chemistry to concoct “immortal pills.”

While he was herding sheep beyond the frontier, I had already taken control of the Qin Empire’s spy network.

“Xiaochuan, do you think I should avenge the wrongs I suffered in my previous life?” I asked with a smile, handing him a cup of poisoned wine.

Until his dying breath, he thought I was still that timid Gao Yao.

Then I burned Epang Palace to the ground and ran my fingers over the imperial jade seal from the Dragon Throne.

“Zhao Gao? That name has a nice ring to it.”
