Thirty-nine-year-old office drone Li Mo opens his eyes to find he’s become a wandering doctor in the Warring States era, with a deadly mission: uncover the truth about the First Emperor’s parentage within twenty-four hours!
Poison hidden in his medical kit, an ambush in the birthing chamber: Lu Buwei has already steeped aconite powder in the pregnancy medicine, waiting for Li Mo to walk into his trap.
With a single poison-testing strip, Li Mo stirs up a storm of bloodshed. He witnesses Zhao Ji feign madness, Zhao Gao seize power, and a forged edict at Shaqiu change the course of history.
From the torrential rains at Daze Village to the songs surrounding Xiang Yu at Gaixia, he tests for poison and solves cases with one hand while rewriting history with the other.
Watching Fusu drink poison, Meng Tian be imprisoned, and Liu Bang rise in rebellion after slaying a serpent, Li Mo clutches the Records of the Grand Historian, a book that can change fate, and does everything he can to survive in a chaotic age.
While everyone else fights for the realm, all he wants is to pay off his mortgage and make it home alive.
But as the System’s notifications ring out again and again, and countless innocent souls die because of the words “afraid to die,” Li Mo finally picks up his brush…
Being afraid to die is not wrong. Staying silent is.
In this life, he won’t just survive. He’ll put every buried truth into the history books!
