After a bout of high fever, history PhD student Qin Zheng dreams himself back to the Qin Dynasty, where he becomes Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng’s “dream teacher.” From then on, two souls join forces across the divide. In public, they follow the history books, staging the burning of books and burying of scholars, along with the upheaval at Shaqiu. In secret, they hide books, establish an academy of practical sciences, send Fusu across the sea, and leave gold foil on the moon. Two thousand years later, when humanity receives a mysterious signal from beyond the Milky Way, Qin Zheng finally understands: that emperor is still waiting for him.
From uniting the land to uniting the stars, a single promise gives rise to a civilization.
Two thousand years of planning and two thousand years of waiting are just to make China soar and make the stars shine!
