A special warfare political officer from the modern era, two thousand years in the future, transmigrates into the body of Ying Zheng, a thirteen-year-old boy who has just ascended the throne.
Knowing that the First Emperor’s life was lonely and beset by calamities brought on by men, that his empire would be short-lived, and that his name would be unjustly condemned for millennia, he
holds fast to one ironclad principle: Heaven’s will cannot be changed, but everything within human power must be set right.
The hardships of a turbulent age cannot be undone, but every tragedy caused by human hands, every wrongful conviction, and every fallen dynasty will be rewritten!
He curbs powerful ministers, stabilizes the inner palace, bides his time for nine years, then takes the reins of power in a single day.
He sweeps across the Six States, reforms the “Edict for Recommending the Worthy,” and puts the world’s overlooked talents to good use.
He sees through the immortality scam, uncovers the truth of fate, and expands the realm across ten thousand lands.
In 209 BCE, he recruits Liu Bang. In 208 BCE, he brings Xiang Yu into his service.
He eliminates every source of chaos at the end of the Qin dynasty.
In his later years, he abdicates in favor of Fusu, leaving behind an ancestral dragon’s timeless instruction:
The Great Qin belongs to whoever is capable. It must not be kept within the imperial family, nor must it fail its people.
He spends a lifetime making up for regrets that have lasted a thousand years, transforming the Great Qin, doomed to fall after two generations, into a supreme and flourishing empire that will endure for all ages.
