Great Qin: Fusu’s Two-Thousand-Year Redemption!

Don't read this! It ends badly!

Don't read this! It ends badly!

On the day Fusu took his own life, his soul did not enter the underworld. Instead, it drifted through the long river of history.

He watched the Qin dynasty fall in just two generations, witnessed the splendor of the Han and Tang, the tragedies of the Song and Ming, and finally saw iron birds cut across the sky. The rise and fall of two thousand years of civilization unfolded before his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to 215 BC. Before him stood his father, Ying Zheng, in the prime of his life, full of ambition.

This time, he would no longer be weak and yielding. When his Confucian tutor accused him of indulging in “useless techniques,” he responded passionately: “If empty talk of benevolence and righteousness can make a nation strong, then what use are plows and swords?”

He forges steel, makes paper, and builds guns and cannons, arming the Qin dynasty with the Industrial Revolution;

he thwarts conspiracies, purges treacherous officials, and saves his father, using his knowledge of the future to defy fate;

he establishes practical learning, institutes new laws, and sails the four seas, determined to kindle an undying flame of civilization in this vast empire!

Ying Zheng: “Son, is this the immortal art you have brought me?”

Fusu: “No, Father. This is a force far greater than immortal arts: a civilization called ‘science.’”
