I Drew the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and the Nation Begged Me to Come Out of Retirement

Gu Qingming, the owner of a bankrupt shop, unexpectedly awakens the "Heavenly Eye of Trace Origins" and "Echoes of History."

His left eye sees ten zhang underground and reveals every mechanism and passage in a tomb. His right ear hears the spirits of ancient objects, while echoes of history from a thousand years ago whisper to him.

A bloodstained bronze sword weeps as it reveals the location of a royal capital lost for a thousand years.

To keep national treasures from falling into the hands of overseas smuggling rings, Gu Qingming casually sketches a map of an ancient tomb, accurate down to the mechanisms beneath the floor tiles, and anonymously sends it to the National Administration of Cultural Heritage.

Catholics and leading archaeologists scoff. "Ridiculous! What map in the world could even mark the vents where poison gas erupts?"

But when a classified satellite data transmission is intercepted and the experts finally detect the site, they are all struck speechless, their eyes red with emotion!

"Quick! Send in the armed forces and seal off the whole city! No matter what it takes, bring out the master who drew that map!"

The next day, a fully armed special operations team surrounds the dilapidated restaurant.

The highest officials make a solemn promise. "Mr. Gu, if you're willing to lead the team, the nation will clear the way for you!"

From then on, the archaeological world has a new powerhouse at its core.

For others, entering a tomb means a nine-in-ten chance of death. For Gu Qingming, it's like going back to his happy old home.

The grave robbers are in tears. "He can talk to the zongzi, and he's got an entire reinforced company with him. How are we supposed to compete?"

The overseas smugglers' headquarters is in a panic. "With Gu Qingming in Huaxia, sending our treasure-hunting teams there is just sending them to their deaths!"

Gu Qingming: "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm just an ordinary national strategic adviser."
