When Zhao Hui woke up, he was already a death row prisoner taken to Xianyang for questioning. But in front of Zhangtai Imperial Palace, the First Emperor, who had just unified the world, recognized him at a glance as his old friend who was supposed to die on the snowy night in Handan.
The death row prisoner was overturned and the old case was reopened. Zhao Hui was left in the center of imperial power and was also involved in a large network that manipulated the world's fear through the "remaining case". Counties, burning books, hunting tours, seeking immortality, changes in the sand dunes... He witnessed with his own eyes the First Emperor's step to the top, and his step to isolation.
An old friend from the past, now a prisoner on death row, stood beside the First Emperor to see clearly the story of why an emperor had to do what he did and why he ultimately lost everything.
