Have you ever wondered what it would be like to suddenly become an emperor?
It's not about traveling through Shuangwen, but actually sitting on the hardest dragon chair in the world - in front of you is the frightening court hall, in the distance are the powerful enemies eyeing you, and at your feet are thousands of people waiting to be fed.
This novel is about those who were forced to sit on the throne. Let's start with Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng: How did a child who was once held hostage in Zhao State and was bullied and called "Qin Dog" become an emperor who swept across the world? He reviews hundreds of kilograms of bamboo slips every day. Does he feel tired? He prayed to immortals and feared death, and became suspicious of ghosts in his later years. In the end, his body was carried with salted fish during the parade... How imperial power shapes people, and how it destroys people - this is the core of the story.
Next, we will also witness the fate of more emperors such as Liu Bang, Li Shimin, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Chongzhen. They may come from humble origins, rise to power in coups, or die from exhaustion. Like ordinary people, they have fears, mistakes, and regrets.
Now, let us return to the street corner of Handan in 259 BC and see the boy wiping the mud from his face - he was about to embark on a road that no one imagined and became the first emperor in Chinese history.
This dragon chair, this country, this world. Let's watch it together.
