Ye Xiao, a student at the town’s middle school, is struck by a sudden bolt of lightning and transmigrates.
When he opens his eyes, it is 221 BC. Ying Zheng has just conquered the Six States, and the realm is newly unified, but beneath the surface, turmoil is brewing!
The visible crisis: The realm is not yet secure. Commandery administration is difficult, livelihoods are in ruins, the treasury is empty, the Xiongnu are advancing south, and the Baiyue are rebelling.
The hidden crisis: The remnants of the Six States have formed a secret alliance to restore their kingdoms. Zhang Liang lays his plans, the Xiang clan raises an army, the Tian clan rebels, and holdouts from Yan and Zhao infiltrate the court. Day and night, they plot to assassinate the First Emperor and overthrow Qin!
Ying Zheng, the greatest emperor in history, is ambitious and brilliant, yet suspicious and distrustful, always keeping something in reserve against everyone.
The veteran ministers who earned their ranks through military service know only how to wage war, not govern. Chancellor Li Si is skilled in political scheming but has no interest in reform.
Only Ye Xiao possesses a complete knowledge of history from the future!
Foil assassinations, dismantle secret alliances, eliminate holdouts, reform officialdom, promote agriculture and sericulture, fill the treasury, defend the borders, and strengthen Qin!
Step by step, he earns the First Emperor’s absolute trust. Again and again, he crushes the Six States’ schemes to restore their kingdoms. Little by little, he transforms the tottering Qin, doomed to fall after only two generations, into a mighty iron-blooded empire that will endure for all time!
Packed with satisfying moments and breakneck pacing, with high-stakes political intrigue and two storylines running in parallel, this is the tale of how a transmigrator helps the First Emperor rewrite the nation’s fate in a Qin dynasty full of deadly danger!
