The story is set in the Qin Dynasty, and the protagonist's soul is transformed into a counselor under Xu Fu. In this era full of power struggles, Qin Shihuang's desire for the elixir of life changed the situation. Xu Fu, the government and other villains, for their own benefit, try their best to prevent the protagonist from exploring the truth behind the elixir of life and implementing his own plan. On the one hand, the protagonist faces an almost impossible task - to find or create the elixir of life within the tight time limit limited by Qin Shihuang. On the other hand, in the whirlpool of power, the protagonist is caught in a dilemma between interests and beliefs: whether to stick to the modern moral bottom line, or to obtain benefits by any means necessary to achieve the goal.
Although the protagonist possesses the golden finger of the modern knowledge system, when he first arrived in the Qin Dynasty, he had obvious shortcomings in power and connections. The strict hierarchy and high-pressure rule of the Qin Dynasty greatly restricted his freedom and choices. In the process of dealing with various forces, the protagonist was misunderstood due to conflicts of interest, many lies and misunderstandings occurred, and interpersonal relationships became complicated. Although the protagonist finally assisted Liu Bang in establishing the Han Dynasty and seemed to win, in this power struggle, he sacrificed part of his innocence and friendship, and the price behind the victory was heavy.
