Chen Zhou, a graduate student in modern Chinese medicine, accidentally touched an ancient alchemy tripod engraved with seal script during an archaeological excavation. He traveled to the Qin Empire in the 34th year of Qin Shi Huang (213 BC) and became a low-level alchemist who was recruited into the palace. At that time, Qin Shihuang had unified the six kingdoms, and there were many alchemists in the palace, but most of them were liars. Relying on his knowledge of modern Chinese medicine and chemistry, Chen Zhou stood out in the alchemy room with his "scientific alchemy" and gradually won the trust of the "ancestral dragon" Ying Zheng. At the same time, he was involved in the power whirlpool in the late Qin Dynasty - not only did he want to refine the real elixir of immortality, but he also wanted to fight for a glimmer of life for this eternal emperor and this empire before the building was about to collapse.
