On the night of preparing for the law exam, financial manager Lin Shuang traveled back in time thirty years before Qin Shihuang and became a refugee without household registration.
Qin's law is like iron - failure to "test" is a death penalty. She relied on her modern accounting skills to solve corruption cases, and rose from being an accountant to a county magistrate. She was then called into the Tingwei Mansion by Li Si, and finally stood in front of Ying Zheng.
She used double-entry bookkeeping to investigate corrupt officials, used statistical sampling to verify taxes, and used legal thinking to argue the laws of Qin. But Qin's law does not allow for flexibility, and Ying Zheng does not allow for questioning.
Under the book-burning order, she secretly collected classics and was exiled to Lingnan. The Qin Dynasty collapsed, but she left the seeds of civilization in the wilderness.
Two thousand years later, a bamboo slip was unearthed, with a sentence written on it: The law lies in the human heart, not in the bamboo and silk.
