In the first year of the Second Qin Dynasty, the world was in chaos, but the prisoners under the Lishan Mausoleum were carving their own tombs day after day in the dark underground.
No one remembers their names. The prisoners with tattoos on their faces, the defeated and captured remnants of the Six Nations, the descendants of the imprisoned criminals - they are called "criminals", and they are the most humble consumables of the empire. Until an unexpected awakening of a soul from later generations brought about knowledge and courage far beyond this era.
His name is A Qi, a prisoner who was abandoned by fate but refused to abandon himself.
When the news of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising in Daze Township had not yet spread throughout Guanzhong, and when Zhang Han was still arguing in the court for the release of prisoners into the army, A Qi had already seen through the truth: waiting would mean death. The empire's tolerance is always too late, and the only thing they can grasp is the pickaxe in their hands and the anger in their chests.
That night, there was a strange sound coming from the depths of the Lishan Underground Palace - not the sound of digging the imperial tomb, but the sound of chains breaking.
He was not released, he came out on his own.
An uprising broke out in advance, a grassroots team without a famous general, a group of desperadoes forgotten in the deepest place. Can they survive the Qin army's encirclement and suppression? When history is rewritten, how will this "Lishan Army" stir up the world?
——Before the empire collapsed, the first domino was toppled from the foot of Mount Li.
