Shen Yan, a top student in the Department of Modern History, passed through the Qin Dynasty in an accident, just when the First Emperor unified the six countries and expanded the country. Relying on insights beyond the times and an accurate grasp of the direction of history, he worked step by step from a commoner, resolved the crisis in the court with unique political views, and helped the Qin State consolidate its foundation with advanced ideas. He eventually became the most relied-upon "sister" of Qin Shihuang's political victory.
Well aware of the tragedy of the death of Qin II, and even more sorry for the benevolent but pedantic fate of his son Fusu, Shen Yan was determined to change his fate against fate. He carefully taught Fusu, not only passing on a subset of classics and history, but also teaching the art of checks and balances and pragmatism, trying to shape the future heir into an iron-fisted monarch who could inherit the great achievements of the Qin Dynasty. However, the inertia of history is like a rolling wheel. Zhao Gao's intrigues, Li Si's sway, Ying Zheng's suspicion in his later years, and the hidden remnants of the Six Kingdoms all test Shen Yan's wisdom and loyalty.
When the shadow of the sand dune quietly approaches, and when the conspiracy to tamper with the imperial edict begins to emerge, can Shen Yan single-handedly protect Fusu and stabilize the Qin Dynasty, so that the prophecy of "Hu Ye, the one who destroyed Qin" will eventually become a joke?
