When archaeologist Chen Mo was exploring the ruins of the Qin Dynasty, due to a sudden change, he accidentally traveled back to 221 BC - the first year of Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six kingdoms.
He landed on the border of the crisis-ridden Shangjun, dressed in rags and without any friends. His only advantage was the vast historical knowledge of Qin and Han Dynasties in his mind. Thanks to the guidance of the seriously injured Qin soldier Zhao Xin, he temporarily found a glimmer of hope in an abandoned post station, but he was also involved in the grand historical torrent of the Qin Empire's northern attack on the Huns.
On one side are the strict Qin laws, the complicated current situation, and the eager Huns cavalry, on the other side are his foresight on the direction of history and the wisdom from modern times. Chen Mo must carefully hide his identity and struggle to survive in this era of iron-bloodedness and change.
He uses archaeological knowledge to identify cultural relics and predict situations, and uses modern thinking to improve living conditions and make friends with key figures. From an unknown person in a remote land to gradually entering the fringes of Xianyang's power center, he not only has to adapt to this era, but also to find the meaning of his existence without changing the general trend of history, and even try to make up for the regrets of history.
When the modern soul collides with the ancient empire, and when personal destiny intertwines with the general trend of the world, Chen Mo will write his own magnificent legend of the Qin Dynasty in this ancient land.
