Qin Feng transmigrates to the Qin dynasty and becomes the young master of a remote manor outside Xianyang.
He does the math and realizes the First Emperor's death is on a countdown, while Zhao Gao and Hu Hai are already sharpening their knives.
To survive the coming chaos, he starts recklessly spending money: stockpiling grain, smelting steel, training troops, and building repeating crossbows.
One day, his adoptive father, who has spent years “trading” far from home, returns with the household accountant.
Without another word, Qin Feng drags them into a secret room. “Father! The Qin dynasty is doomed! That tyrant, the First Emperor, won't live more than a few years. We need to prepare for a rebellion!”
His father's face turns ashen, and the accountant's legs go weak. What Qin Feng doesn't know is that the “short-lived tyrant” he's talking about is sitting right across from him, barely restraining his murderous intent, and the accountant is none other than Li Si, the current prime minister.
And so begins an absurd father-and-son charade.
Qin Feng produces potatoes, shows off high-grade steel, and brings out gunpowder, all to build up his “rebel forces.” Meanwhile, his father watches his entire worldview shatter, then secretly transports everything back to the court in Xianyang.
When Qin Feng finally sharpens his blade and prepares to raise his troops, his father says, “Son, the tyrant you're planning to overthrow is me.”
