Reborn as a Korean spy, I'm ordered to enter Qin and build a “canal of national ruin” to bring down the Great Qin.
But the canal is finished, the land grows fertile, and Qin becomes even stronger!
The King of Qin, Ying Zheng, honors me as a man of the state, Lü Buwei treats me as a confidant, and the world's greatest assassin becomes my biggest fan...
I'm at a loss: Weren't we supposed to weaken Qin? How am I supposed to weaken this Qin? How am I supposed to sell out this country?!
Everyone knows Lü Buwei wields power throughout the court, and Li Si is the greatest strategist under heaven.
But no one knows that their imperial ambitions were manipulated at my fingertips by a spy from an enemy state, using nothing but a counting rod and a blueprint.
They think I'm weakening Qin, but I'm working to bring eternal peace to this divided world!
When you stare into the abyss, why not turn it into a road?
As a Korean spy, I'm cornered by King Ying Zheng in the middle of court.
“A plan to weaken Qin! What a plan to weaken Qin!” Ying Zheng draws his sword. The officials tremble, and the beauties weep.
But I laugh aloud. “Your Majesty, the canal is complete, and the fertile lands of Guanzhong stretch for a thousand li. The foundation for unification has been laid! Kill me, and you'll harm the whole realm! Why not spare me and let me build you a China that will never again suffer famine or war, a land that will endure through the ages!”
