Zhao Xiao, a modern-day orphan, accidentally transmigrates to the second year after Qin Shi Huang unifies the six kingdoms and finds himself in the body of Ying Zixiao, the least remarkable of the First Emperor's nineteen sons. On the surface, the Qin Empire is flourishing, but beneath it, undercurrents are surging.
Having grown up with no one to rely on in his previous life, he knows that in this brutal age of imperial power, kindness is a mortal sin. He awakens a vast space spanning one hundred thousand square kilometers and gains the peerless manual of Xiao Li's Flying Dagger.
With the Shaqiu upheaval and the empire's collapse looming, Ying Zixiao keeps a blade between his fingers and a grand strategy in his heart. Within the palace at Xianyang, cold and merciless, he will use a modern man's wit and swagger to carve out a chance to survive, while helping the Ying family grow its ranks. Beyond the palace, he will answer slaughter with slaughter, looking toward even more distant, unknown continents as he drives the Xiongnu north and pacifies the Baiyue in the south.
Since he's been given this chance, the Qin banners shall fly across the whole world!
