He Qi, a modern history student who was struggling with his graduation thesis, traveled to the Warring States Period in his dream and became Mi Qi, a low-level maid in the Chu Palace. He married the princess and entered the palace of Qin, which was about to dominate the world.
From a Chu girl to a Qin palace official, she became a silent witness to history with a vision that transcended the times: she witnessed the young Ying Zheng forbearingly taking power, witnessed the majestic iron cavalry sweeping across the world, watched the foundation of the empire being laid with the same text and the same track, and also glimpsed the price behind the prosperous age in the fireworks of burning books and the dust and smoke of the Great Wall.
The deep palace is like the sea, with turbulent undercurrents. From an innocent maid to a calm look in the silhouette of an emperor, she sticks to her duty but is repeatedly drawn into the whirlpool due to her knowledge that transcends her time. Between Qin Shihuang's obsession with pursuing immortality in his later years and the quietly growing rifts in the empire, she tried to put a gentle gravel on the rails of history with her meager efforts.
On the night when the empire collapsed, she ran away from Xianyang alone in the flames of war. In her hands, she only had a roll of silk full of knowledge, a seal with hidden secrets, and a pen from modern times. When the three forces resonated in the cold night of Lishan Mountain, a door connecting the past and the present quietly opened for her.
When I returned, I found that the changes in the world were just a three-day dream. Only the majestic and epic memories in my mind and the manuscript called "Qin Palace Mirror" that appeared automatically in my writing proved that everything was not an illusion.
This is a story of a time traveler silently watching the rise and fall of an empire. It is also a narrative of how a modern soul salvages, remembers and finally "completes" a piece of history. She is not a participant in history, she is the writer of the mirror, reflecting both the glory and the dust.
Purpose: Use history as a mirror, use history as a guide
