Northeastern Chinese veteran special forces soldier Zhao Rui gets drunk and transmigrates into the Qin Dynasty as Ying Rui, an utterly obscure prince. From the start, he has an overpowered “phone” cheat that lets him browse a global knowledge database offline.
On the eve of the Shaqiu Incident, he sees through Zhao Gao’s informants, knocks down veteran soldiers with military combat techniques to establish his authority, wins fans by making toilet paper from tree bark, solves a food shortage with “work-relief” projects, and recruits the renowned family’s talented daughter Su Qingluan as his “chief strategist.”
From a small workshop in Yongcheng to the Xianyang Palace, he leads the way in improving Qin crossbows to beat the Xiongnu, uses rifle squads to crush Xiang Yu, transports supplies by steam train, and sweeps across Europe, Asia, and Africa with ironclad warships. He abolishes the law of collective punishment, makes glass and white sugar, and turns the Qin Dynasty into an ancient infrastructure powerhouse. In the end, he holds a global court assembly where the Roman emperor and Native American chiefs line up to pay tribute.
A Northeastern tough guy becomes Emperor Wu of Qin, wielding special forces tactics in one hand and using his phone to look up strategies in the other. He turns a “survive at all costs” scenario into a power fantasy of “global unification,” earning even the First Emperor’s praise: “This son of mine knows how to have a good time!”
