With the realm united, Ying Mu transmigrates into the Qin dynasty as its overlooked Fourth Prince, only to become bound to a Rebellious System: he must obtain a fief officially granted by the court before it can be activated. But the First Emperor abolished enfeoffment in favor of the commandery-and-county system, making fiefs taboo. Even Fusu, the eldest son, fell out of favor over the matter.
On one side is the System’s life-or-death order, the only way to survive; on the other are the First Emperor’s iron rule and the undercurrents at court. Ying Mu thought he had no way out, but then the First Emperor suddenly summoned all the princes to discuss enfeoffment. With Confucian and Legalist factions clashing, princes scheming against one another, and the emperor’s intentions impossible to read, Ying Mu seizes this one chance and vows to win a fief amid the Qin dynasty’s deadly power struggles, activate the System, and rewrite his own fate and that of the empire.
