Bai Lan starts with three lies.
The first: he claims to be a descendant of Bai Qi!
The second: he writes a book of military strategy for Bai Qi.
The third: he gets the First Emperor of Qin to exclaim, "This child understands me!"
After transmigrating, Bai Lan wants to stay alive, so he plots to switch identities with Bai Lan, a scion of an aristocratic clan. He enters the ranks of Qin's noble families under a false identity and lives in constant fear, terrified that one wrong step will lead to another.
But someone points him in the right direction: use secret identities, and if one isn't enough, use several.
From then on, Bai Lan understands that transmigrating doesn't mean a wish-fulfillment story from the start. It's a matter of life and death, of lying low and biding one's time, of plotting and strategizing, of deceit and intrigue!
For the sake of the most important secret, Bai Lan must climb to the very top, until he stands beside the Ancestral Dragon and helps him bring all under heaven together!
So Bai Lan does everything he can to secure a place for himself amid the chaos of the Warring States.
Faced with a choice that could cost him his life, Bai Lan throws caution to the wind!
From a scion of the Bai family to the youngest general in Great Qin.
From a hidden prince to the sharpest sword of the First Emperor!
His name is false, his identity and origins are all made up, but his ambition to achieve an unprecedented feat is real.
He starts as a slave, but dreams of becoming a noble and a general. I was born to be useful. Even as a slave, I can achieve an unprecedented feat in mighty Qin, rise to the top of the court, standardize the width of the roads and unify the written script, while letting a hundred schools of thought contend!
In plain language: Half a year after transmigrating, his companions nearly die. He scrapes by, looking for any opening to survive. When he's dragged out to take the blame, he successfully switches identities. He pours all his talent into reaching the side of the Ancestral Dragon, becoming the most trusted and sharpest sword in his hand, and preserving Great Qin's rule for centuries to come!
Note: This story can't adhere perfectly to history. Just enjoy it for what it is!
1. No CP. The male lead is a master of keeping his head down, bold yet meticulous, cautious to a fault, and a compulsive liar.
2. I'll try to keep things realistic, but this is meant to be a relaxing read, so there won't be any angst.
3. Alternate history, alternate history, alternate history! History will definitely change because Bai Lan gets involved!
4. If it's not your thing, please click X. No ranking comparisons, please. (Don't argue with me. If you do, you win.)
Updates start December 1, 2025.
Theme: Starting from the bottom and rising to the top. Take control of your own life!
Father, think about it! Hahahaha I guess the First Emperor might not be able to control himself anymore
This is a military academy. It may have the same political purpose as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopting orphans to establish the Yulin Army.
So how did he get 3,000 shi 🥺, and only gave it to the people? Was he going to use it as food for the people of Qin after he captured it?
|More updates ❤️❤️[cat head]~I'm getting better and there are more comments~
The First Emperor: My white cat!!! Li Mu: Hehe, it's mine! (Grabs the white cat spinning in its eyes by the back of the neck and runs away)
Ah ah ah ah, the knife is on Da Da's neck, tell me quickly, where are you going to take my son?
😭 😭 Please, Jade should be able to be found.
To be honest, I'm in a hurry if you want me.
I'm watching, I'm watching!
Sorry, I couldn't help fattening up for a while.
