I transmigrate into a convict sentenced to build the Great Wall, and decide to start over.
The System says, "Don't die! I'll give you cheats!"
I think I'm about to reach the pinnacle of life.
But the main System is a real piece of work:
It makes the Vice Minister perform a belly dance, makes a Doctor of the Classics study "Lunyu," and makes Fusu organize a quarrel contest...
I'm just a convict, yet every day I have to match wits with the Imperial Censor, the Qin prince, and a Confucian scholar.
Shamelessness is invincible.
I build roads with cement, farm with a curved-shaft plow, and grow sweet potatoes that yield three thousand jin per mu.
The First Emperor's gaze grows more and more intense.
Xiao Jiu: Is he into you?
Me: ...Shut up!
Later, I make snow-white salt, cast iron pots, and even plan to build a steam engine.
The First Emperor asks me, "What do you want?"
I say, "Your Majesty, could you get down on your knees and sing 'Conquered' for me?"
The First Emperor: "...Want to see if I can conquer you first?"
This is the story of a shameless modern engineer who uses cement, tall tales, and sheer shamelessness to turn the Qin Dynasty into an empire on which the sun never sets.
