Qin Attendant, Companion to the Qin King

A sudden thunderclap strikes the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests. The Lao Ai rebellion has been put to rest, and Ying Zheng is about to embark on his grand campaign to conquer the six states! A ninety-year-old modern man, Qin Qing, transmigrates to the Warring States period and becomes an obscure attendant in the Qin court. For his service during the rebellion, the King of Qin gives him the name Zhao Gao. History has branded that name with infamy. He is destined to bear eternal disgrace and be bound to the fate of Qin falling in its second generation! But when the perspective of a man from a later age inhabits this body, he is determined to overturn the fate already written for him with his own hands! He remains at the ruler's side, content to serve as Qin's companion and adviser. He has no designs on usurping power, but seeks only to help the true ruler bring order to the land. He navigates the struggles among Lü Buwei, the royal clan, and other factions. Using the Zhengguo Canal controversy to block the expulsion of foreign retainers, he keeps talented people from across the realm in Qin. He establishes a new kind of elite army and improves its armor, weapons, and crossbows, strengthening the military through technology rather than relying solely on harsh laws to control the common people. He eases the severity of the laws, curbs the concentration of land, and opens more paths for the poor to rise, gradually eliminating the dangers posed by the eastern noble clans and repairing the deep-rooted ills of Qin's system. He accompanies Ying Zheng as he conquers the six states and unifies China, removing the hidden roots of disaster beneath the unification and laying a firm foundation for the empire's longevity. The same name, a different life! Watch as he breaks free of the chains of fate, washes away a thousand years of infamy, and protects the Qin dynasty's legacy for generations to come!
