Qin Shi Huang’s Campaign

Synopsis of The Journey of Qin Shi Huang, the third book in the transmigration trilogy

Chen Yuan and Zi Shu return to the modern era after the magnetic fields of Tianxi Star and the jade pendant collide. But the pendant’s reactivation heralds an even grander journey through history. Together, they are swallowed by a wormhole, cross through time, and arrive in Qin at the end of the Warring States period.

Facing the young and ambitious King Ying Zheng of Qin, Chen Yuan demonstrates the vast power of science: he uses sound-wave resonance to break the deadlock on the battlefield, magnetic-field principles to unite the six states, and deep wells and canals to end years of drought. Zi Shu, meanwhile, puts her outstanding military talent to use, bringing modern management methods to the army and becoming Qin’s first female general.

Together, they spark a scientific revolution that sweeps across the Warring States era: standardized military production, economic strategy, and precise engineering calculations. The power of science becomes the driving force behind Qin’s conquest of the six states. They build the Great Wall together and protect the empire’s flame during the perilous attempt on Qin Shi Huang’s life by Jing Ke.

But when the realm is united under the First Emperor, a rift begins to grow between scientific reason and imperial autocracy. At the empire’s height, Chen Yuan and Zi Shu activate a time device and drift away.

They return to the modern era.
