He transmigrates to the thirty-sixth year of the First Emperor's reign, with the Qin dynasty destined to fall after just a few more years. Then he decides to defy fate and change history!
Modern scholar Lu Yan opens his eyes to find himself kneeling at an execution ground in Xianyang.
All the alchemists ahead of him have been executed. When his turn comes, he speaks out before the crowd: "Your Majesty is suffering from elixir poisoning, and the Qin dynasty is doomed to fall in the reign of the Second Emperor!"
The officials throughout the court denounce him for spreading heresy, but Ying Zheng is the only one shaken by his words.
Lu Yan has thoroughly studied the history of the late Qin. He knows Zhao Gao's ambitions and sees right through him. He also possesses the history and knowledge of later generations.
Confucian scholars condemn his strange inventions. Li Si secretly obstructs him at every turn, while Zhao Gao and Hu Hai lay a deadly trap behind the scenes.
He treats the elixir poisoning, smelts steel, builds workshops, introduces superior crops, and settles refugees, saving the Qin dynasty from the raging storm.
He kills Zhao Gao, defeats Xu Fu, crushes the Xiongnu, and eliminates the rebels. He provides relief through public works, develops agriculture, the economy, and technology, and finally sets his sights on the world!
He foils Zhao Gao and Hu Hai's plot to usurp the throne, ensuring the vast Qin empire does not collapse under its second emperor. Breaking free of the constraints of history, he rebuilds an invincible Qin dynasty!
