After transmigrating to the final years of the Qin dynasty, Ying Ye had barely arrived when he ran into a middle-aged man who could not stop coughing. Without realizing who he was, he mistook the First Emperor of Qin, traveling incognito, for his own father. He pulled out some modern anti-inflammatory medicine, amoxicillin, and was about to treat the “old man” for pneumonia.
He had no idea that the man before him was none other than the reigning First Emperor. Right in front of Ying Zheng, he went on a furious rant: he mocked Ying Zheng for believing in immortality and being duped by Xu Fu into traveling all the way to Goguryeo in search of the elixir of life. He also urged him to stockpile grain immediately, bluntly predicting that the Qin dynasty was about to descend into chaos, that the incompetent Hu Hai would cause even more trouble than the First Emperor, and that the dynasty was doomed to fall sooner or later.
Every one of his heart-piercing predictions left Ying Zheng looking livid. The moment Ying Ye blurted out that Qin would fall, the emperor’s overpowering aura erupted. His hidden guards appeared as one, their blades aimed straight at Ying Ye.
Ying Ye was instantly stunned after his reckless talk backfired. On one side was a transmigrator who knew exactly how the Qin dynasty would fall; on the other was the First Emperor, whose might shook the world and who would never accept the fall of his dynasty. Having revealed secrets of the future, would Ying Ye be executed on the spot, or could he use his knowledge of what lay ahead to defy fate and save the crumbling Qin dynasty?
