During a study trip, Xiao Shijiu, a history student, slipped into an abandoned thatched hut next to the ruins of the Western Zhou Dynasty and fell asleep on an earthen bench. When he woke up, there were no wires in the sky and no roads in the distance. The time that was frozen forever on the screen of his mobile phone—14:37 on July 15, 2024—became his last look at his hometown.
He can't go back.
What's even more frightening is that he discovers that he will not die.
From the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Warring States Period, he was hunted down, buried alive, and burned in fire, and each time he recovered in severe pain. Jumping into a river, falling off a cliff, throwing himself into a battlefield - death closed all doors to him, leaving only long and desperate years.
After despair, he came up with an idea: since he couldn't die, he would change something.
With hundreds of years of accumulated experience, he entered the Qin Kingdom and became the invisible promoter of the Sixth Generation Yu Lie. From Shang Yang to Bai Qi, from Lu Buwei to the First Emperor, he thought he was ending the troubled times, but found that every push of "goodwill" resulted in a larger amount of blood. On the day of his knighthood, he stood on the high platform of Xianyang Palace and remembered that afternoon two thousand years ago - the light leaking from the holes in the thatched house, the smell of hay, and the laughter of his classmates in the distance.
He only has one wish left in his life.
It's not about changing history.
I can finally close my eyes.
