Preface
I'm not a hero.
I am just an ordinary person, a history graduate student from the 21st century. I once thought that by traveling back to the end of the Qin Dynasty with the knowledge of two thousand years later, I could change history - help Chen Sheng and Wu Guang win the battle, let the Zhang Chu regime overthrow the violent Qin, and let those who didn't deserve to die survive.
I was wrong.
All my strategies and all my "foresight" are vulnerable to reality. I sent an assassin to kill Li You, but instead killed a landlord with the same name; I offered what I thought was a brilliant strategy, but was completely refuted by Chen Sheng's words, "People's hearts can't wait"; I thought I was standing on the shoulders of history, overlooking everything, but found that I was just a grain of sand in the torrent of history.
This novel is about my failures, not my successes. What I write is my ignorance, not my wisdom.
If you have ever fantasized about traveling back to ancient times and killing everyone with modern knowledge - please read my story. Then, let go of those unrealistic thoughts and cherish everything you have at this moment. The world with electricity, water, takeout, and Wi-Fi is the real paradise.
