Tian Ming, a graduate student in the Department of History in 2029, was accidentally involved in an unsolved "time and space rift" spell in the bamboo slips while sorting out a batch of newly unearthed Qin bamboo slips. His soul traveled outside Xianyang City in 228 BC (the 19th year of the Qin Dynasty) - into the body of a Zhao prisoner who was about to be executed. With his prophetic knowledge of history and his will to survive in desperate situations, he escaped death, but fell deeper into this "historical scene". There is no romance here, only the roar of the state machine of iron and blood, and the afterglow of the disciples struggling to breathe in the cracks of the empire. Tianming must use knowledge and insights beyond the times to struggle and survive in the shadow of Qin Shihuang's final craze to wipe out the six kingdoms and the establishment of the empire, and finally face a choice: go down the river and become a footnote of history;
