The Life of Qin Shihuang, the Founder of the World

He came from the dust and vowed to trample the whole world under his feet. At the end of the Warring States Period, the world was full of strife like purgatory. In Handan, the Kingdom of Zhao, a boy named Zhao Zheng grew up in the cold eyes and scorn of everyone. He is an abandoned son of the Qin Kingdom, and is what people call the "evil son and grandson". He has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world and the cruelty of survival. The ups and downs of his childhood molded him into a stoic and secretive character. After inheriting the throne at the age of thirteen, he faced a deep palace maze where powerful ministers were in power and his mother was interfering in politics. Lu Buwei is unfathomable, Lao Ai is arrogant and domineering, the clan's undercurrent is surging... Every step is like facing an abyss. The young King Qin held back and waited for the sword to be unsheathed. On the day of the crowning ceremony, Xianyang was stained with blood. He swept away the inside and outside with the power of thunder, and truly grasped the power tightly. Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yanqi, the palaces of the six kingdoms fell one after another under his feet. The famous general Wang Jian and his son, as well as the Meng clan, charged into battle for him; his adviser Li Si made plans for him. Fighting with an iron horse and conquering thousands of miles, he finally became the emperor of the ages, created the name of "Emperor", and built an unprecedented unified empire. However, behind the glory of the founder is the endless anxiety of the defenders. He wrote with the same text, drove his carriages with the same track, used weights and measures, built the Great Wall, and dug spiritual canals, hoping to create peace for all generations. But under the foundation of the empire, the resentment of the old nobility, the dream of restoration of the survivors of the Six Kingdoms, and the criticism of the intellectual circles were surging like dark fire. He sought immortality in order to control the mountains and rivers forever; he burned books and humiliated Confucian scholars in order to unify his thoughts. Thunderous tactics also buried cracks in the empire.
