Zhao Zhigao, a doctoral student in physics, traveled through time and became Zhao Gao. Despite his lowly status, he struggled to survive under the oppression of evil officials every day. His father, Zhao Sheng, died unjustly because of the crime of "tong Zhao", leaving only half a jade pendant and a vague legend that "Handan saved the noble man". The mother was frail, and the mother and son were in danger.
But he refused to accept his fate! Zhou Laosan deducted rations, and he brought out the "Cang Lv" to calculate the detailed accounts, so that the evil officials could not deny it; the bamboo slips became damp and moldy, so he ingeniously invented a bamboo rack to dry; the Shaofu ink was of poor quality, so he improved the formula to create a rich and bright ink; the grain storage department's grain and grass were moldy, so he designed ventilation grain stacks and air blowers, which shocked the head of the Shaofu!
He broke through the situation with wisdom and gained a foothold with technology. He met Ying Zheng by chance. He mentioned the past of his father saving King Zhuang Xiang, got rid of his lowly status, and was granted access to the palace. Unexpectedly, the conflict in the Grain Reserve Department hid factional murderous intentions. Lu Buwei's forces were eyeing him, and his father's old case was closely connected with the secret affairs of Handan and the power struggle in the court.
From a secret official to a celebrity in the Shaofu, from a low-level official to the whirlpool of power, Zhao Gao used Qin's laws as his blade and his ingenuity as his front, and he fought step by step in the whirlpool of power in the Qin Dynasty. He not only has to deal with the factional strife, both openly and secretly, but also to pursue the truth about his father's injustice. In the power game between Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei, he has to earn a chance for himself and his mother, and finally find his own path to becoming a hero.
This is a passionate run by a young man at the bottom who counterattacks with wisdom, and it is also an elegy for the Qin Dynasty that hides conspiracy and redemption. When a lowly young man holds power, how will he stir up the storm and rewrite the fate of himself and the Qin Dynasty?
