My favorite ancient novel is of course the originator of time-travel novels, "Xun Qin Ji". This book is written by Huang Yi, a famous master of fantasy novels in Hong Kong. We all know "Xun Qin Ji" from the TV series of the same name starring the famous actor Louis Koo. The original work is also as good as the TV series.
The time-travel scenes we are familiar with now are not as well handled as in this veteran novel. He told him directly and openly that he was asked to conduct experiments and return to the Qin Dynasty at the end of the Warring States Period. As a result, the protagonist Xiang Shaolong, who had just lost his love, had his machine broken and could not come back. But it began the peak of his life. I think the most wonderful thing about the whole book is the portrayal of historical figures at that time. He did not deliberately belittle some people in order to borrow historical novels. Regarding Ying Zheng in his early years, it focuses on describing the ups and downs he experienced in the Zhao Kingdom. Facing the powerful Lu Buwei at home, how could he swallow his anger? It makes people feel a little more close to this eternal emperor. In the book, the historical figure that the author makes the most of is Lao Ai. Lao Ai originally fantasized about launching a coup, so the only person the author makes the most of is him. Very traditional Hong Kong villain. This Lao Ai's methods are ruthless. He ostracized the protagonist early on, and then was suppressed by the protagonist. Finally resurrected, after Xiang Shaolong. Taking advantage of Ying Zheng's mother's line, she severely beat Xiang Shaolong. However, Hong Kong people seem to be very unique in the details of this kind of villain, making people never tire of this kind of villain.
? The book also always emphasizes that Xiang Shaolong is careful in everything in order to maintain the normality of history. And handle things with caution. Guide Ying Zheng to develop on the trajectory that history should go. At first, he fantasized about changing Qin Shihuang's character so that he could be considerate of the people and not implement tyranny. He discovered that Ying Zheng's character was not something he could control at all. In the end, Jiliu retreated bravely, and after unifying the six countries, he took his several wives and lived a comfortable life in seclusion.
