History

Ying Zheng took personal control of Qin after coming of age. During his consolidation of power, Lao Ai was removed, Lü Buwei was weakened through the Six Souls Fear Curse, and Web returned to royal control. Yan Fei and the Yin-Yang School materially supported this process 177.

Qin Xuan entered the Qin-era world through a Recruitment Card and accidentally appeared in Zhao Ji’s palace, where he interrupted Lao Ai’s use of the Wheel-Turning Divine Art and injured him. The incident was subsequently treated as an attempted assassination 154 172.

When Qin Xuan later appeared before Ying Zheng in Yong Palace, he negotiated from a position of overwhelming strength. He offered paper-making instructions and demonstrated potatoes as portable, nutritious crops. Ying Zheng recognized that widespread cultivation could strengthen Qin’s armies, reduce famine, and support the unification of the realm 172.

Ying Zheng ultimately abandoned his pursuit of immortality after Qin Xuan argued that it would require him to surrender his throne and purpose. He instead committed himself to conquering the Six States 177 178.
