Li Si, 17 years old, was born in Shangcai, Chu State. He gave up his job as a granary manager in his hometown and resolutely embarked on a study tour to Jixia Academy of Qi State regardless of his family's opposition. Just because he doesn't want to be a toilet rat.
Jixia Academy is the academic center of the world, where hundreds of schools of thought hold classes and teach. Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, Legalism, Yin-Yang family, doctors, peasants, novelists... Which one is his choice?
A mysterious alchemist gave him the word "eye gate", but he didn't know how to interpret it. The rolling torrent of history carried him step by step towards the heights in his mind.
A history of heterogeneity, a rare genius in a century, a literary battle with strategies, and a struggle for world supremacy. From the first boy studying to the imperial prime minister, through Li Si's eyes, he witnessed the turbulent last fifty years of the Warring States Period.
