Lin Wei, a woman with a doctorate in science, transmigrates and becomes a divine maiden in the eyes of Qin Shi Huang, supposedly able to “see the secrets of heaven.”
When faced with the remnants of the Six States, Lin Wei whips out black powder. “Your Majesty, this stuff makes a much bigger bang.”
When faced with the miasma-ridden lands of Baiyue, Lin Wei offers him penicillin. “Your Majesty, this can save lives.”
The whole court regards her as a demon. Qin Shi Huang looks at the territories of the Six States he has conquered, while Lin Wei quietly unfolds a map of the world. “Your Majesty, the realm you conquered isn't even as big as a single province.”
From standardization to the Industrial Revolution, from cavalry on land to fleets at sea, she uses a scientist's approach to help Emperor Qin turn the borders of the Qin Empire into a realm on which the sun never sets.
When Ying Zheng points to Rome, Lin Wei smiles.
“Your Majesty, would you like to learn about the principles of nuclear fusion? Or perhaps we could start by discussing... constitutional monarchy?”
