In 210 BC, Emperor Qin Shi Huang died of illness during an imperial tour. Zhao Gao, Prefect of the Palace Carriages, and Li Si, the chancellor, feared that Fusu would harm them after ascending the throne. They forged an edict, put Hu Hai on the throne, and forced Fusu to take his own life. An Fusu, an archaeologist, discovered an ancient tomb in Shaanxi and unexpectedly transmigrated into Fusu's childhood.
