Historical Records of Qin

When Cheng Yuan, a doctoral student in the history department, accidentally fell into the Xianyang Palace of more than two thousand years ago from a modern laboratory, he found that he had become the youngest historian beside Qin Shihuang. Holding the bamboo slip in hand, he witnessed with his own eyes the great moment that changed the course of Chinese history - the unification of the six kingdoms and the initial determination of the world. As the only person who knew the future, Cheng Yuan recorded every detail of this huge empire in shock: the strict legal system, the efficient administrative system, the amazing engineering miracles... At the same time, he also witnessed the flames of burning books, the blood of Confucianism, and the cruelty of corvee labor. He tried to use modern knowledge to admonish, but he repeatedly ran into obstacles. He gradually understood that the historical trend was irreversible. When Qin Shihuang suddenly died during his eastern tour, Cheng Yuan witnessed the conspiracy between Zhao Gao and Li Si, and witnessed Hu Hai's stupidity. The flames of war in Daze Township, Xiang Yu's heroic spirit of burning a cauldron, Liu Bang's caution in entering the Guanzhong... Like a ghost, he wandered around these key moments that changed the direction of history, recording every turning point of this short-lived dynasty. This is not a novel that changes history, but a modern soul's in-depth thinking on "Why did Qin fall?" When the last bamboo slip was engraved with "Chu people torched, pitiful scorched earth", Cheng Yuan finally understood: History never changes due to personal will, but future generations can learn eternal lessons from it.
