Chapter One: The One Who Doomed Qin—Hu Hai!
Page (1/3) (Brain Storage...)
//////
Spring, 213 BC.
The Qin had conquered the six kingdoms, completing their unification, and entered a brief era as an empire.
Yet remnants of the six kingdoms lingered, and those with ulterior motives stirred restlessly.
The collapse of the grand edifice was imminent...
At this moment.
Within Xianyang Palace, in a simple and ancient sleeping chamber.
Fusu suddenly awoke, discovering himself lying in a woman's embrace. The sensation from his limbs was nothing but softness.
This...
Instinctively, Fusu looked toward the alluring woman beside him.
Was he dreaming of passion?
No!
He sensed something strange within himself and immediately sat up in shock. This wasn't a dream—he had crossed over!
Fusu, who loved reading transmigration novels, had long studied the phenomenon with clarity.
He had once fantasized about traveling to ancient times, wielding power, commanding respect, and enjoying multiple wives...
And now, it had come true?
No!
Suddenly, a sharp pain seized his head, and a flood of information surged into his mind.
The seductive woman on the bed let out a soft moan and hugged Fusu tightly, whispering, "Your Highness, let us do it again!"
The Great Qin Empire!!!
Fusu, the legitimate eldest son of the First Emperor of Qin?
As understanding dawned, Fusu abruptly pushed the woman away, scrambling to put on his trousers in panic.
He was doomed—utterly doomed!
Now, Fusu was fully aware of the woman's identity: she was Li, the emperor's favorite concubine!
He had no idea what had transpired the night before, only that after he boldly admonished the First Emperor, opposing the execution of "over four hundred offenders," he had incurred the emperor's wrath.
For this reason.
Fusu drank heavily and passed out.
Upon awakening, his soul had taken over this body.
He had to leave immediately!
Sensing imminent danger, Fusu hurriedly pulled up his trousers, but before he could escape, the palace doors were violently kicked open.
"Audacious!"
A shrill voice echoed through the chamber. Zhao Gao, face contorted with fury, shouted, "Prince Fusu, you have violated all propriety and dared to consort with Concubine Li in secret!"
"This is an unforgivable crime!"
Oh, hell!
Fusu was utterly flustered. If this accusation stuck, even if his father was the First Emperor, he would not escape a severe punishment!

"I didn't—" Fusu hurriedly fastened his belt, unable to finish his protest.
From the bed came the sound of sobbing: "I cannot go on!"
"I cannot go on!"
"Your Highness drank too much last night and forced me into this situation. I am too ashamed to face His Majesty!"
As she spoke.
The seductive woman slammed herself against the bedrail, immediately fainting.
Fusu, clutching his trousers, turned and witnessed the scene.
His mouth hung open, mentally overwhelmed by the absurdity...
Now the accusation was irrefutable!
What should he do???
"Guards! Bind Prince Fusu and bring him before His Majesty!" At Zhao Gao's command, dozens of tall eunuchs pinned Fusu to the ground.
Without ceremony.
They dragged him out of the sleeping chamber.
After Fusu was taken away.
The alluring woman on the bed opened her eyes, a subtle, enigmatic smile curling at her lips...
Within Xianyang Palace.
Bang~
The First Emperor slammed the bamboo slip onto the ground.
He glared at the half-naked Fusu below and roared, "Treason! Treason!"
"How could I have such a shameless, lustful, and rebellious son?"
"Father, I am innocent!"
"Father, I drank too much last night—I know nothing, I do not understand what happened!"
Sweat beaded on Fusu's forehead as he felt the oppressive aura of the ancestral dragon. Once an ordinary commoner, he was now utterly terrified.
He had never witnessed such a scene!
"Father, elder brother was merely confused and lost control after drinking. Please, quell your anger!" Prince Gao rushed in, feigning to intercede.
He had always been at odds with Fusu, and now, finding the perfect opportunity to kick him while he was down, he would not let it slip.
Thus, upon hearing the news, he was the first to arrive.
For the more he pleaded, the deeper their father's rage grew!
"Yes, Father. Elder brother was foolish to commit such an outrageous act, but he is still our eldest brother!" Prince Jianglü, following closely behind Gao, chimed in.
Though they appeared to beg for mercy, every word cemented Fusu's guilt, stoking the flames.
The First Emperor's expression darkened as he weighed the consequences.
At this moment, a palace maid rushed in and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, grave news! Concubine Li is attempting to end her life!"
"Rebellious son!!" The First Emperor glared fiercely at Fusu, his fury intensifying.
"Father, I am innocent!"
"Please, Father, investigate thoroughly—Concubine Li is the one at fault!"
"I request an examination; let the imperial physicians and matrons examine us separately. I have done nothing improper. I pledge my life as guarantee!"

Hesitation flickered in the First Emperor's eyes.
Upon hearing the request for examination, Zhao Gao quickly bowed and addressed the emperor, "Your Majesty, according to the testimony of the palace maids on duty last night, Prince Fusu was drunk and barged into Concubine Li's chamber!"
"A few servants tried to stop him, but were severely injured!"
"Indeed!"
"Father, I saw elder brother heading toward Concubine Li's chamber last night. I called out to him, but he ignored me." A boy of about ten entered.
He quickly saluted and reported.
Upon seeing the boy, Fusu shouted sternly, "Hu Hai!"
Now, he understood.
This was a trap set by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao, designed to tarnish Fusu's reputation as the legitimate heir.
Worse still, it was intended to eliminate him completely!
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host! You have now bound the Technological Nation System. Based on your current situation, please make the following choice."
"One, admit guilt and receive a manual of Yin-Yang Bedroom Arts as a reward!"
"Two, refuse to confess, fight to the end, and if successful, receive a complete modern black powder manufacturing guide!"
Fusu was stunned—A system?
The essential transmigration system had arrived!
But he had no mind for choosing. Hearing Hu Hai's false accusations, his eyes had already reddened with anger.
He shouted, "Father, Zhao Gao has overstepped his bounds, plotting with Hu Hai, who covets the throne!"
"Father, do not believe their words—they are framing me!"
"Silence!" The First Emperor barked at Fusu.
Fusu refused to comply. Now, he was like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water; nothing could worsen his predicament.
Let the mutual destruction begin!
Thus, Fusu cried out, "The one who destroys Qin is Hu! The one who destroys Qin is Hu!"
"It is not the nomads who will bring down our empire, but Hu Hai!"
The First Emperor was taken aback.
Three years earlier, Lu Sheng from Yan had ventured into the sea and returned with the words of an immortal book: "The destroyer of Qin is Hu!"
Upon reading this, the emperor immediately convened his ministers and generals to discuss its meaning, unanimously deciding that "Hu" referred to the nomadic tribes.
Thus.
The First Emperor ordered Meng Tian to lead three hundred thousand Qin soldiers against the Xiongnu, seizing vast territories along the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River, establishing new districts...
And expending countless resources to build cities and fortresses!
With this, Qin enjoyed peace of mind.
The emperor, too, set his worries aside.
But today, Fusu declared that the destroyer of Qin was not the nomads, but Hu Hai!
