In the future, China faces an existential crisis, and a plan to save civilization is set into motion. Elite specialists from various fields in later generations take turns traveling across more than two thousand years of time and space to prolong the life of Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, who is critically ill at Sand Dune Palace. They also bring high-yield crops, advanced technologies and historical knowledge from future generations. Having learned the fate of the Qin Empire and the rise and fall of China over thousands of years, Ying Zheng forces himself to endure his failing health and takes control of the imperial court, eliminates treacherous officials, promotes agriculture and strengthens the military, vowing to rewrite the fate of the Qin Dynasty and ensure the unbroken continuation of Chinese civilization.
