I’ve Lived for Two Thousand Years, and You Call the Qin Dynasty Western Antiquity?

Zhou Ling lived from the Great Qin Dynasty all the way to the age of interstellar civilization. Then he woke up one day as an eight-year-old undocumented child on the streets of a parallel world. Lost all his magic? No problem. He can tone down the lethal techniques of ancient Qin martial arts and still have more than enough for self-defense. Not a penny to his name? No worries. With the Great Qin's engineering expertise and ancient medical knowledge, repairing a condemned building or managing a flood is a piece of cake. In this new world, full of the warm bustle of everyday life, Zhou Ling initially just wants to quietly tend his three fields: medicine, engineering, and martial arts. But as he works, the truth can't stay hidden: The Western calendar, revered by scholars as the gold standard, turns out to be systematically falsified when he uses astronomical records to match up the dates. The celebrated Taixi land-allotment system turns out to conform to Great Qin standards when he measures it with a Qin ruler. Faced with the “Official History Faction” furiously smearing his name, Zhou Ling sighs. “I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary eight-year-old, but you insist on forcing a two-thousand-year-old ancestor to teach you a lesson in person.”
