When archaeological team member Shen Mo was excavating the Xianyang City ruins, he accidentally touched a bronze scepter engraved with "The Twenty-sixth Year of the First Emperor". When he woke up from a coma, he found himself in the Xianyang Palace on the eve of the death of Qin Shi Huang.
His body belonged to a person who really existed but was not recorded in history books - the "doctor's disciple" who was responsible for managing the bamboo slips of the law in the palace, an insignificant clerk.
At this time, Qin Shihuang was on his fifth eastward tour, and the news that Sha Qiu was seriously ill had not yet spread, but the conspiracies of Zhao Gao, Li Si, and Hu Hai were already surging in the dark. Shen Mo was supposed to just want to find a way back to modern times, but he accidentally discovered the truth from a pile of slips waiting to be burned——
Da Qin's laws were not imperfect. But someone is "stealing" it.
Some people were tampering with legal provisions, and the addition or deletion of one word could determine the life or death of tens of millions of people; some were tampering with county documents, "stealing" grain and grass that should have been sent to northern Xinjiang and transferring it to other places; and some were "stealing" the crucial time difference after the death of the First Emperor - whoever arrived in Xianyang first would "steal" the world.
Shen Mo found that the only thing he could do was not to fight for world supremacy, but to start a battle of "stealing" and "keeping" with those who were trying to steal the sky in this power game.
What he wants to protect is not Da Qin. But in this coming collapse, those things that should not be "stolen" the least - truth, justice, and the lives of countless people.
When his existence began to change the direction of history, Shen Mo faced an ultimate choice:
If what he stole was history as it was, would this world still be the world he knew?
