My soul transmigrated into the Dune Palace in 210 BC, and I became Ying Zheng, the First Emperor of Qin, with only seven days to live!
I opened my eyes to mercury poisoning deep in my bones and death looming near. Zhao Gao and Li Si were plotting to forge an imperial edict right beside me, while the Qin dynasty was fated to fall in just three years!
Fortunately, I came equipped with three major advantages: instincts from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, letting me judge life and death at a glance; the memories of a history PhD, revealing the future; and a scientific mindset, allowing me to launch an Industrial Revolution!
In seven days, I will purge the mercury, kill Zhao Gao, bring Li Si to heel, and crush the Dune Palace coup!
In twenty years, I will smelt steel and build cannons, reform the system, drive back the Xiongnu in the north, pacify the Baiyue in the south, open routes to the Western Regions in the west, and explore the eastern seas!
Other emperors seek immortality. I will give Huaxia an empire that lasts for ten thousand generations!
While I live, Qin will endure! Wherever the sun and moon shine, wherever rivers flow, all shall be Qin territory!
