In 210 BC, the yellow sand of the sand dunes blocked out the sun, and Qin Shihuang, who ruled the world, was issuing the last secret order in his life. Before Xu Fu crossed east, he secretly offered a "retrospective pill". This medicine does not grant immortality, but it can place the emperor's consciousness in the bloodline, and it can be awakened by blood sacrifices by future generations. Before his death, the First Emperor secretly gave the elixir to his unpopular son Ziying, leaving behind his last words: "If Qin is in trouble, wake me up."
Twelve years later, Liu Bang's army pressed on the border of Bashang, and the Prince of Qin came out of the city in an infantry chariot and a white horse to ask for surrender. In a desperate situation, he bit off the blood sacrificial elixir on his fingertips, but what he awakened was not the soul of the First Emperor, but the soul of an archeology graduate student from two thousand years later.
The modern soul possesses the last King of Qin, who faces desperate situations on all sides: 400,000 allied troops outside the city are watching eagerly, the clans in the court are falling apart, the blood feud of Julu is still unresolved, and the temptation of the position of King of Guanzhong is fatal. He has a thorough understanding of the trend of history and knows that Xiang Yu will massacre the city and set fire to it. Xianyang will not be destroyed in three months, and he will not be able to escape the fate of being killed.
He has no intention of saving the violent Qin Dynasty, he just wants to survive, and he also wants to protect this civilization from turning into scorched earth. But the inertia of history is like a huge beast. Every time he changes his fate against the will of heaven, it triggers a chain of drastic changes. Zhang Liang became suspicious, Fan Zeng noticed something strange, and the most shocking thing was that he was not the only one in the world who knew the future.
There was another prophet who had arrived twenty years before him and had already laid out a shocking chess game, waiting for his fateful showdown.
