Twilight of the empire, and I am no Son of Heaven.
Fusu’s blood has yet to dry, and the mausoleum at Mount Li is still under construction. Yet Lin Yan has become the heir to this vast empire, under the name Hu Hai.
What he inherits is a dynasty on a countdown. Beneath the throne lies a web of poison woven by Zhao Gao and Li Si; beyond the Great Wall, the flames of rebellion are about to sweep across everything.
Everyone believes he is that cruel, foolish tyrant. He cannot defend himself. He can only shoulder a burden of crimes that were never his, amid misunderstanding and hatred.
He may not be able to change the Qin dynasty’s fate, but he can decide how the empire will meet its end.
A modern soul who sees through the currents of history meets an ancient empire on the road to ruin. This is a desperate fairy tale about sacrifice, redemption, and the seeds of civilization.
