Great Qin: I, Fusu, Bury the Scholars from the Start

A history graduate student transmigrates into the body of Fusu, eldest son of Qin Shi Huang. The Qin Empire is in a dire position: Confucian scholars are obstructing the government, Zhao Gao is abusing his power, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are ready to stir up trouble. Worse, he knows how history will unfold. His father will die at Sand Dune, he will be ordered to kill himself at Shang Commandery, and the Qin will fall after just two generations. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang will take turns plunging China into another four centuries of war. “Mercy?” Fusu tosses aside the Confucian scholar's hat and sneers. “You call that mercy. I call it asking to die.” Chunyu Yue wants to restore the rites of Zhou? Strip him and tie him to a pillar, so the world can see what Confucian “propriety” looks like. Zhao Gao wants to scheme and seize power? Let him find out what a real conspiracy looks like first. As for Xiang Yu and Liu Bang... “Xiang Ji, don't you want to take my place? Come on, let me show you what it really means to take someone's place.” “Liu Bang, you're so good at using people? I'll poach every one of your most capable followers and see what you have left to fight me with.” If the Confucians are killed off, bring in new ones. If Zhao Gao is killed, find another. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang? Perfect for a sacrificial offering to inaugurate the campaign. A man from two thousand years in the future returns to two thousand years in the past. He isn't here to live on his knees, but to make an entire age kneel before him. The sun of Qin has grown tired of shining. Then I'll be the one to light the fire anew.
