I know how all of history ends, yet I cannot save a single soul in this world.
Chen Yan carries a locked-down history book as he transmigrates into the Great Qin dynasty.
He sees through the Dune Palace coup, Fusu's suicide, Li Si's execution by dismemberment, and the fall of Great Qin after just two reigns.
The world is trapped in a game of chess, and only he holds all the answers.
He had planned to watch from the sidelines, taking no part in worldly affairs.
But an old Daoist speaks a sentence that seals his fate: All who live through the ages are prisoners, and no one can be saved.
It turns out that those who know the will of Heaven are the most heartless.
I know how everyone's story ends, yet I save no one.
If Heaven has imprisoned me, then I shall defy fate and rewrite all of history.
This game of chess in Xianyang is mine to play. No one can stop me.
My name is Chen Yan. I'm a graduate student in history.
This is my first day after transmigrating.
