"Into the Mausoleum of the First Emperor" is a novel that combines historical suspense, time travel and urban adventure. The story begins in 2006. Three ordinary young people living in Xinjiang - courier Dan Ge, Chinese medicine intern Deng Deng and delivery boy Qiang Ge - were obsessed with the fantasy elements in the movie "Myth" and embarked on a dream-seeking journey to Xi'an. However, when visiting the "Wangxiantai" ruins, they accidentally triggered a mechanism that had been sealed for two thousand years and fell into the depths of the world-famous underground palace of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum.
But this mausoleum is far more bizarre and unpredictable than recorded in history books: a bronze mechanism that has been running for thousands of years, a military formation of terracotta warriors driven by mysterious energy, stars and rivers simulated by mercury, and the mystery of the Nine Tripods hidden deep in the earth... During their desperate escape, they even found that they had traveled through time and space and arrived at the Great Qin Empire in the third century BC.
Faced with the dilemma of language barrier and a mystery of identity, the three of them had to show their strengths: Brother Dan relied on the road-finding skills developed in his express delivery career to survive on the streets of Xianyang, Dengdeng used his knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine to gain a foothold in the ancient market, and Brother Qiang relied on his meticulous observation skills trained in delivering food to help in the wine shop. As they gradually integrated into ancient life, they unexpectedly discovered that the undercurrents of this era were surging - the book-burning order was about to be promulgated, the alchemists' whereabouts were mysterious, and the "Trackers", an organization of men in black in the underground palace, had traces in the Qin Dynasty...
The ultimate secret of the local palace is intertwined with the true face of history. The truth about time and space travel and the mystery of immortality have surfaced. These three ordinary modern youths are forced to be involved in a game about the fate of the empire and the survival of time and space.
