Lin Mu, an archaeologist, became a prisoner in the Lishan Mountain of the Qin Dynasty. With his systematic knowledge and historical foreknowledge, he used "heaven's craftsmanship" as his blade to leverage the foundation of the empire: making paper, improving farm tools, and offering spiritual canals... From dust to guest officials, he thought he could assist the First Emperor in forging the foundation of eternity.
However, the inertia of history is like an invisible giant hand. Technological innovation has touched interest groups, and the ideal blueprint has encountered human suspicion. Even the hero he is loyal to has become increasingly unpredictable. When the dark conspiracy of Dune descends, best friends are wronged, and the empire is about to fall——
Lin Mu finally realized that his biggest opponent had never been the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, but the stubborn era itself. What he wants to do is not only to transform a dynasty, but also to conduct a lonely and decisive confrontation with the inertia of thousands of years.
