"The Land of Qin" is a historical time-travel novel set in the Qin Dynasty at the end of the Warring States Period. Lin Yu, a modern financial elite, accidentally suffered a car accident. When he woke up, he found that he had traveled to Xianyang in the eighth year of the Qin Dynasty (239 BC) and became the son of Zuo Geng, a man from Qin whose family was in decline.
Relying on financial knowledge and project management capabilities that transcended the times, Lin Yu started by improving the accounting registration method and gradually gained the appreciation of Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng. He presided over the construction of Chi Road to greatly improve the transportation efficiency of the Qin army, designed new weapons to assist in the battle to destroy Zhao, dug the Ling Canal to connect the north and south water systems, and even built the Great Wall with Meng Tian in northern Xinjiang to resist the Huns.

Through Lin Yu's perspective, the novel shows the magnificent process of the Qin Dynasty from its rise to its decline, and deeply explores the significance of "unification" to Chinese civilization, as well as the eternal proposition of how individuals can stick to their beliefs and inherit the fire of civilization in the torrent of history.
