(My new book, "The New Book," has been released. It tells the story of a time traveler's battle against the chosen one of the worlds during the Xin Dynasty.) At the end of the Warring States period, China experienced a great upheaval unprecedented in a thousand years. Some people are born into noble families. Some of them are noblemen. He was reborn as Hei Fu, a lowly soldier in the Qin state, a minor figure in the Qin bamboo slips of Yunmeng. To avoid dying in the ravine and to take control of his own destiny, he struggled to climb upwards. Fortunately, he was born in a great era. The six kingdoms were defeated, and the world was unified! A thousand years of bloodline could not withstand the power of military merit bestowed upon one. The nobles and powerful of the six kingdoms were all trampled underfoot by Qin officials. Hei Fu could only laugh and ask: Are kings and generals born with a special destiny? He conquered the Baiyue in the south, repelled the Xiongnu in the north, forced the Di and Qiang tribes to flee west, and sent warships eastward. Within the six directions, all was the Emperor's land. How did history change under his influence? Qin Shi Huang was destined to die, and the empire would soon be divided. As a Qin official, what choice should one make: to fuel the flames or to try and save the day?

I was everywhere – from suppressing the feudal lords during the Jingnan Campaign, to moving the capital and revising the classics, to conquering the Mongols and going to Southeast Asia – yet no one knew I was there. Keep a low profile! Keeping a low profile is the key to success. His tortuous lifeline and the continuation of a passive fate led to his rise and counterattack. The seemingly powerless imposter reversed its passive situation and created a new landscape for the entire related environment! The turbulent struggle for the throne, the step-by-step reforms to weaken the power of the princes, the glorious moment of the Yongle Encyclopedia, the manipulation of the world by changing the capital, the pacification of the internal and external affairs, all the events, big and small, cannot erase his shadow or cover up his footprints in all the glory! The early Ming Dynasty was a period of constant turmoil. It was an era of receding instability, yet a group of heroes and ruthless figures stirred history, propelling the Ming Dynasty's rule to its first peak! In such a historical context, how did an ordinary person from modern times manage to manipulate events, intervene in such turbulent times, and achieve his own quiet brilliance?
