In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, suddenly fainted while reviewing memorials. When he woke up, he found that he had become another person - Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin.
The 21-year-old Hu Hai had just ascended the throne for two months. Historically, he would drag the Qin Empire into the abyss within three years, and was eventually forced to die in Wangyi Palace by Zhao Gao. At this moment, Zhao Gao is holding forged edicts and troop deployment tiger charms, watching in the dark; Prime Minister Li Siming protects himself wisely, but his thoughts are unpredictable; hundreds of officials in the court are panicked, and the old nobles of the six countries are ready to move; 720,000 prisoners are building mausoleums in Lishan Mountain, exhausting the people of the world; the harsh Qin law makes the people breathless, and the beacon fire of Daze Township is about to be ignited.
Facing this empire that was about to overthrow, Li Shimin made a completely different choice from Hu Hai. He suspended the mausoleum project and transferred prisoners to Guanzhong to repair water conservancy; he reduced taxes and abolished evil laws such as "deficiency must be beheaded"; he implemented the farming system and allowed the garrison to farm and feed themselves; he trained three hundred "wind watchers" to patrol the world's public sentiments on behalf of the emperor. He used his experience in the rule of Zhenguan and used a combination of iron fist and gentleness to initiate a top-down revolution in the precarious Qin Dynasty.
However, every step he takes is against the opposition of vested interests. Zhao Gao secretly tightened the trap, and the 200,000 troops in the north were ready to move. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu in Guandong rose up one after another. Can an emperor from a thousand years later turn the tide in this strange land and rewrite the fate of the Qin Dynasty?
