Chu Yuan transmigrates to Great Qin. The moment he opens his eyes, he's in the castration chamber, with the chief eunuch's blade already pressed against his belly.
Just as he despairs, the First Emperor Ying Zheng happens to pass by and unexpectedly awakens the ability to hear people's inner thoughts!
[It's over, it's over! If I get castrated, who'll tell Brother Zheng that Zhao Gao and Li Si are going to falsify the imperial edict?]
[Poor Brother Zheng, whose name will go down in history! Great Qin will fall in its second generation, and after his death they'll cover his corpse with dead fish to hide the stench!]
Outside the door, Ying Zheng's eyes fly open. He kicks the door down, roars, "Spare him!", and promotes Chu Yuan on the spot to Great Qin's only fake eunuch.
From then on, the court has a new corrupt official: greedy, lecherous, arrogant, and overbearing.
But in secret, he complains nonstop, while Ying Zheng gleefully freeloads on his modern knowledge.
"Potatoes yielding thousands of jin per mu? Papermaking and breech-loading cannons? Hurry up and make them for me!"
The court watches the Xiongnu and Rome get swept away by firearms and cannons, while Western Region gold piles up in the imperial treasury. They are left collectively numb.
The ministers plead with the emperor: "Your Majesty, that eunuch Chu Yuan has planted Great Qin's dragon banner on the other side of the world. Why do you still indulge him?"
Ying Zheng sneers. In his heart, he thinks, My Great Qin depends on everything he curses about in his mind. Whoever dares touch him, I'll wipe out their entire clan!
