Zhao Zhi, a soldier king who struggled for ten years in the zombie apocalypse and finally died in battle, had his soul travel to the Qin Dynasty and possessed the body of a border guard with the same name and surname who was about to starve to death. What frightened him even more was that he had a "future" memory in his mind: Three years later, beacon fires broke out in Daze Township, and the world was in chaos. His border guard team mutinied because Shangguan withheld food and wages, and was eventually wiped out by the Qin army. All his close friends died, and he also died of hunger and cold in exile.
Reborn at the starting point of tragedy, Zhao Zhi clenched his fists. In this life, he not only wants to survive, but also prevents the chaotic world of mountains of corpses and seas of blood from reappearing! Relying on the iron-hearted character, military skills and the prophet of "history" tempered in the last days, he began the road of changing his destiny against heaven. He skillfully resolved the first crisis within the garrison and gained initial trust; he used prophets to accumulate the first pot of gold in border trade; he used military training methods that transcended the times to forge a group of stragglers into elites.
However, his rise touched the interests of local bureaucrats and led to suppression and frame-up. At the same time, he must carefully balance his relationship with various future "heroes". Should he make friends with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in advance, or start a new one? A bigger shadow comes from Xianyang: Zhao Gao, the commander of CRRC, who noticed the abnormal movement at the border, has turned his attention to this restless "pawn". Zhao Zhi danced on the tip of the knife, accumulating strength while making secret moves. His goal is to use his power to move the wheel of history and establish a new order on the ruins of the collapsed Qin Dynasty that can save the people from famine and war. This is a huge gamble against time and against the entire empire.
