Following the real-life story of Ying Zheng, this novel combines the wars and political intrigue of The Qin Empire with the palace struggles of The Legend of Mi Yue. At its heart are a modern soul, a Qin Dynasty System, and the rewriting of history. The protagonist, Xu Hongbin, is a graduate student in history specializing in the Qin and Han dynasties. He transmigrates to the Qin Dynasty in 241 BC, where he is reborn as the newborn eldest prince, Fusu, and bound to the Great Qin Reform System. Its missions are closely tied to the development of Qin, and its rewards focus on technological improvements, institutional reforms, and new ways of thinking. There are no futuristic technologies such as gunpowder or electricity. Instead, it uses modern reasoning to upgrade technology and management within the limits of Qin’s existing productivity, ultimately helping Ying Zheng unify the realm and avoid the tragedy of an empire that falls in its second generation.
