Office worker Fu Chenze died suddenly after working overtime, only to wake up as a convict laborer at Mount Li in the Qin dynasty, just as an overseer was about to “make an example of him.” At the last possible moment, a mysterious middle-aged man saved him and said only, “You remind me of an old friend.” Fu Chenze had no idea the man was Qin Shi Huang, much less that he was the First Emperor’s illegitimate son. One wanted to acknowledge him but dared not; the other did not know whether he should. Follow the transmigrator Chenze as he farms and builds infrastructure with the System, advances technology, strengthens the nation, and joins forces with his father to rewrite the fate of the Qin dynasty, which was doomed to fall after just two generations.
