Chen Mo, a retired officer from a special operations brigade in a certain military region, was swallowed by an unknown white light during an overseas mission.
When he awoke, he was lying in the wilderness in the tenth year of the King Zheng era of Qin. His mouth was full of dirt, his body was covered in blood, and a burn mark had appeared on his wrist.
That year, Ying Zheng was twenty-three. He had just purged Lao Ai and Lü Buwei and issued the famous Expulsion of Guests edict.
Qin had only one policy toward anyone of unknown origin: expel them.
Chen Mo was exactly such a person.
He had no household registration, no travel permit, a strange accent, and bizarre clothing.
But he had skills no one in Qin had ever seen.
Starting at a makeshift camp by Yunmeng Marsh, among a group of fleeing commoners, with one dagger and thirty-seven lives at stake...
He would survive in the Qin Dynasty, make a name for himself, and change the tragedies already written in the history books.
And from the very first day, one question haunted him:
What was the burn mark on his wrist? Could it take him home?
And what frightened him most was this:
When that day finally came, would he still want to go back?
