This is a soul duel spanning two thousand years, a tragic epic in which individual will challenges the torrent of history.
Chen Qi, a special soldier, traveled across time overnight and became not a prince, but a prisoner awaiting death on the border of Qin. With modern military thinking and iron-blooded will, he emerged in the shadow of the Changping Battle, fought his way out of the prison camp, was appreciated by Mengshi, and finally entered the turbulent Xianyang Palace.
He has seen the strength of the Qin army's warriors, and he has also seen the bones of the people under the harsh laws and harsh governance. He and the young man Ying Zheng are both monarchs, ministers and confidants, and they work together to unify the country; he and the young master Fusu are both teachers and friends, and they work together to promote benevolent government. He founded the "Iron Eagle Camp" and the "Black Ice Platform", reshaped the Qin army with modern thinking, and was deeply involved in every conquest and every secret battle in the empire's unification of the six countries.
However, the more he integrates into this era, the more he fears the fate of "die in his second life". He wanted to use his meager power to change destiny against the will of heaven and tear a crack in the iron curtain of history.
But how can destiny be easily tampered with by mortals?
The miserable howls of the captives in Changping are still in my ears, the flames of burning books and entrapping Confucians have been ignited, and the plot of the Dune Palace Incident is quietly unfolding... He and Ying Zheng went from acquaintance to suspicion, he and Zhao Gao went from a secret fight to an open fight, and Li Si went from being on the same path to a different path. He is the sword forger of the empire, will he also become the gravedigger of the empire?
When the beacon fire in Daze Township finally started a prairie fire, and when the pavilion chief of Peixian County knocked on the door of Hangu Pass, Chen Qi stood at the end of his life's decision: should he turn the tide and be buried with the giant ship that was destined to capsize? Or should he comply with the people's wishes and put an end to everything he protects with his own hands?
