In 1987, I was in my third year of junior high. I was attending Jinan Licheng No. 3 Middle School as an outside student. Back then, I was the kind of kid nobody at school cared for. The teachers disliked me. As my Chinese teacher put it, whenever you talked to me, my mind would always wander off to the ends of the earth. My classmates disliked me because I was a country bumpkin. I even wore jeans with the pockets opening in front. I was a hick from the countryside. But I had a special ability: there were two of me. I could transmigrate through time and space at will. In the present day, I was Ding Hua, an honest kid. In the Western Zhou dynasty, I was the God of War of Qin, named Qin Shi, and I was a rogue. I helped the ruler of Qin take possession of Qin territory and establish a foothold there. Then, step by step, Qin grew into the hegemon of the Spring and Autumn period and eventually unified China. This may turn out to be a very long book, so be patient. The tangled timelines of the two of me are what bring this story to life.
