When modern chef Gao Yao opened his eyes, he had transmigrated to the Qin dynasty.
No System, no golden finger, just his cooking skills and an unfamiliar face.
Worse still, he discovered that his new identity was Zhao Gao, the infamous traitor from history.
The history he knew told him that Zhao Gao would be castrated, point at a deer and call it a horse, cause Fusu’s death, and eventually have his head chopped off by Liu Bang.
Gao Yao didn’t want to die, and he certainly didn’t want to become a eunuch.
He decided to rewrite his fate: first, he would use his memories from his previous life to avoid every trap, then climb the ranks step by step with modern knowledge and his culinary skills.
The First Emperor wanted fine food? He cooked it. Li Si wanted to bring down his political rivals? Gao Yao came up with a plan. Meng Tian had a war to fight? Gao Yao helped with logistics.
What? There was another transmigrator? And a wide-eyed idealist who kept saying they should “let history take its course”?
Gao Yao smiled. “I don’t care about the tides of history. I only know this: in this life, I’m going to rise above everyone else.”
The tale of an ordinary modern man making his way in the Qin dynasty, from the kitchen to the court, from pawn to player.
