Liu Chuang dreamed of dying, then returned to the Warring States period, just as the young Ancestral Dragon was choosing his study companions.
And because of his modern-day mindset, the young emperor saw through him?
Then what was the point of continuing to hide who he was!
He revealed his identity outright, stirring the young Ancestral Dragon's ambition.
He promised that if everything he said came true, Liu Chuang would receive half the realm on the day he took the throne!
Such a weighty promise, such high expectations.
Liu Chuang naturally refused to spend this life as a timid nobody again.
He won trust with papermaking, printing, and salt production!
He strengthened the army with steelmaking, weapon forging, and civilian-led reforms!
Starting by escorting Ying Zheng back to Qin, he became a Grand General, suppressed Lü Buwei, conquered the Six States, executed the alchemists, pacified the mediocre Confucians, bested the court ministers, and conquered ten thousand kingdoms. The Hundred Schools contended, and the people celebrated as one!
In his twilight years, he looked back.
I, Liu Chuang, am no longer the pathetic young man from a rented room.
I am Liu Chuang, courtesy name Qin Yu, the First Emperor of the Great Qin Empire's closest friend, leader of the Legalist-Confucian scholars, chancellor who safeguards Qin, commander of the Shadow Guard, and general of the Imperial Guard!!!
