Upon waking, Liu Xun finds himself once again transmigrated, this time from the legendary emperor who founded the glorious Zhaoming Era amid the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, after stepping down at the height of his success, back to the Qin Dynasty. He has become the eldest prince, Fusu, who is on the verge of seeing both his life and his state destroyed.
Fusu executes the treacherous Zhao Gao, tricks Qin Shi Huang into faking his death, and seizes power. At the border, he becomes a disciple of the Mohist leader. On the road back to Xianyang, he wisely recruits the talented Xiao He and the fierce generals Fan Kuai and Xiahou Ying. When danger strikes along the way, he is saved by Murong Ruoxue, one of the three extraordinary women of the powerful Qin, and becomes a disciple of Huang Shigong...
Armed with the wisdom and experience of two lifetimes, he vows to defy fate and change his destiny. Using modern knowledge and the political and military skills he gained as an emperor in his previous life, he will transform the Qin Empire, bring the Hundred Schools of Thought under his banner, pacify the remnants of the Six States and the Xiongnu, and turn a declining empire into an iron-blooded dynasty built to last for generations, ushering in an unprecedented golden age for the Qin!
