I Am Nine, and I Already Know Qin Will Fall in Its Second Generation

Zhao Zheng, a nine-year-old hostage prince, is being trampled underfoot by a Zhao prince, with grass stuffed into his mouth and spit smeared across his face. He is about to be beheaded as an offering beneath the battle standard!

At the instant between life and death, five thousand years of Chinese history flood into his mind! From the ancient Yan and Huang emperors to the year 2020, the art of imperial rule, the skills of every trade, and the secret fates of every person are all at his fingertips!

He knows the tragedy of Changping, knows that the Qin dynasty will fall after only two generations, and knows of the humiliations China will suffer in the centuries to come!

One sentence makes the Zhao prince kneel in terror; another turns the leader of the death squad to his side. He takes in a destitute young man who will become Wang Jian, the famed general who will one day conquer kingdoms. He toys with the powerful minister Lü Buwei and escapes the assassination plot awaiting him on the road back to Qin. He crushes the Six Kingdoms, brings order to the realm, reforms the system, and puts an end to its troubles! Who says Qin was destined to be short-lived? I have returned with five thousand years of civilization, and I will forge an empire to last for all ages, so that China will never again suffer the slightest humiliation!
