During a class reunion trip to see the Terracotta Army at Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, Ming Hao followed his classmates to Pit Three, where he saw a newly unearthed terracotta warrior dressed as a civil official in a long robe. It looked exactly like him!
In a daze, long-buried memories surged back.
After an accidental transmigration, the moment the class reunion ended and he opened the car door to get in, he plunged straight into the Xianyang Palace of the Great Qin and crashed into Emperor Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng's enthronement ceremony. He even shoved the First Emperor, the greatest ruler of the ages, just as he was about to take his seat, making him stumble!
Accused of attempting to assassinate the emperor, with a blade at his throat and his life hanging by a thread, Ming Hao awakened his System at the critical moment and offered a god-tier forging technique from the start to save his life.
With his extraordinary metalworking skills, Ming Hao forged peerless divine weapons and unbreakable armor. He rose from a condemned prisoner in Yunyang to an honored guest of the Great Qin. He debated the scholars in court, crushed the old arguments for enfeoffment, and helped Ying Zheng settle on the commandery-and-county system.
He unlocked divine agricultural skills and gained the power of life and death. He staked everything on an astonishing two-month wager: that the Great Qin's harvest would be bountiful enough to support the northern campaign against the Xiongnu, without raising taxes, while still ensuring the people's well-being.
He improved military equipment, revolutionized farming, and advised Ying Zheng, becoming the First Emperor's mentor behind the scenes and shaping the course of the entire Great Qin.
A thousand years passed in the blink of an eye. In a modern exhibition hall at Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, a terracotta warrior identical to him was unearthed, and Ming Hao's identity as the emperor's mentor, buried beneath the dust of history, began to come to light!
