A Day in the Life of Translating the Heavenly Books in Great Qin

In the twenty-seventh year of the First Emperor’s reign, after the six states had first been unified, the Emperor, who had brought all under heaven to heel, received several heavenly books while performing the Fengshan Sacrifice on Mount Tai.

Their characters were strange, and no one could make sense of them.

So he ordered them announced and circulated throughout the land, offering a fortune of ten thousand gold pieces to any learned scholar who could decipher them…

That year, Qu Sheng, who lived in Feng County and survived by working the fields, stared at the strange characters Liu Bang had written in the dirt and fell into deep thought.

Aren’t these simplified Chinese characters…?

So, before Bangzi officially evolved into Emperor Gaozu of Han, there shouldn’t be anything wrong with heading to Xianyang for a few days of luxury, right?

That day, Liu Bang, grinding his teeth in frustration, watched his sworn brother climb into a carriage bound for Xianyang.

Liu Bang: If you ever strike it rich, don’t forget me! Take me to Xianyang to enjoy the good life!

That day, newly arrived in Xianyang, Qu Sheng stared speechless at the History of China laid out before him.

Bangzi, looks like I really am taking you to Xianyang to enjoy the good life.

In short… this is the day-to-day story of a transmigrator translating all kinds of modern texts in the Great Qin, while also giving the empire a makeover.
