Back to the Qin Dynasty

In 210 BC, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng died of illness at the Sand Dune Palace. To his surprise, even after death he witnessed treacherous ministers forging edicts and wicked eunuchs throwing the court into chaos. He had barely closed his eyes, and the glorious empire he had built was already in disarray.

He awoke twenty-five years in the past. Zhao Gao had yet to be appointed, Li Si had yet to be promoted, and his eldest son, Fusu, was still a child.

The First Emperor, whose name would endure through the ages, gave it careful thought. This time, he must not be careless. Raising an heir was the key. As for conquering the six states again, that would be easy enough.

Qin Yi, an actor plagued by bad press, never got the chance to play Prince Fusu. Instead, he unexpectedly became Prince Fusu himself.

After arriving in the state of Qin, he found that not only had the original Fusu somehow become Crown Prince, but Zhao Gao had somehow vanished too. Why was history so different from what he knew?

His family relations were complicated, while the ministers seemed to get along well enough. Though life was going reasonably well for a newcomer, he couldn't shake the feeling that these good times wouldn't last.

For the Qin Empire, a fleeting presence in the history books; for the earth-shaking downpour at Daze Village; for the two hundred thousand Qin soldiers buried alive at Xin'an; for the eighteen warlords who raised their armies and raced to seize Xianyang.

Dad: Come on, I'll shield you from the storms!

Male Lead: My endless sunny sky, you're the biggest cyclone in it.

Changping: Come on, your great-uncle will go to Chu and find you a wife!

Male Lead: No, I need to save my shoulders to carry on my father's eternal legacy.

Wei Liao: Listen, your father is a real scoundrel!

Male Lead: Then what do you think of me?

He stood outside the story, thinking he was only a traveler passing through a dislocated timeline. But fate insisted on grinding his flesh and bones to dust and merging them into the river of history.

Theme: No matter the hardship, never give up.
