by FALLEN TROY
Qin Ming dreamed of a new world. He woke up strapped to an execution board. In this empire, people from Earth are hunted. Recite a poem from home, share a piece of modern knowledge, or say one word that doesn’t belong, and your head ends up on the city walls. To stay alive, Qin Ming steals the identity of a dead palace eunuch and becomes the personal servant of the Eldest Princess — the most dangerous woman in the empire, a woman who has already executed hundreds of people exactly like him. One wrong glance. One careless answer. And it’s over. But the longer he survives inside the palace, the clearer it becomes that no one ---- not the natives, not the transmigrators actually knows why the killing started. For a thousand years the empire has been butchering people over a reason no one remembers. Qin Ming has to find that reason before it finds him.
