The Qin Dynasty, but Modern

Ying Zheng has one little goal: to receive the Mandate of Heaven and reign forever. No matter how many hardships stand in his way, he will stop at nothing to achieve it. Fu Su: ...Father, please take it easy. The Zhao Xiang King genes are showing a little too much. There have been quite a few victims. The victims: Are we the hardships?! Liu Che: Help! He said, "I am the First Emperor of Qin. Send money," and conned me out of all my coffin money. Ying Zheng: Superstition is no good. Let your predecessor teach you another lesson. Zhao Heng, Zhao Zhen, Zhao Shu, Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, Zhao Gou: Help! He came at us shouting, "The Liao are fine, the Jin are fine, and relatives are even better!" Su Xun (scratching his head): Cede five cities today, ten tomorrow, and then enjoy one peaceful night. Rise and look around at the borders, and Qin's armies have arrived again... When did I become a great prophet? 1. This story has a lot going on: gods, monsters, strange tales and legends, foreign civilizations, and dynasties from across history. 2. There will be gods and demons in the Xia, Shang, and Zhou; the modern era in the Qin and Han; cyberpunk in the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties; steampunk in the Tang and Song, and more. 3. My own take on time: there is no grandfather paradox, and the various Zhengs, great or small, are the same person in every sense. Theme: Humanity should take its own fate into its hands
