Transmigrated as Li Si, he opens his eyes to find himself about to be executed by waist-cutting!
Chen Yan’s mouth is full of a dead man’s blood. When he opens his eyes, he has become Li Si, the seventy-two-year-old chancellor of the Qin dynasty.
Tomorrow at noon, in Xianyang’s busy marketplace, he will be cut in half.
Everyone thinks he’s doomed, Zhao Gao included.
But they don’t know that the soul in this body has been replaced by someone from more than two thousand years in the future.
Nor do they know that, before his death, the old fox Li Si left three contingencies in place:
A forged edict, half an inch too short; an ancient fragment fused into his palm; and a younger brother who transmigrated eight years before him!
Eight years ago, Chen Xiao transmigrated as Li You and fought his way out of a heap of corpses to become governor of Sanchuan.
Eight years later, Chen Yan transmigrates as Li Si and lays a shocking scheme from inside death row.
Zhao Gao plays power games? Chen Yan plays with an information advantage!
The demonic path uses seals? He has a fragment that can break any spell!
Hu Hai wants to be a puppet? Chen Yan flips the whole board!
When Chen Yan produces the originals of all three edicts at court and leaves Zhao Gao speechless;
when Chen Xiao leads the iron cavalry of Sanchuan to the gates of Xianyang;
when the chains beneath the earth snap and the sealed Ying Zheng opens his eyes...
The entire Great Qin trembles!
