Features: Merchants Plotting for the State: The Yangye merchant Bu Li Buwei met the prince of Qin, Yiren, in Zhao's capital and harbored ambitions to usurp the throne. He offered his pregnant concubine to Yiren as his wife. Later, they had a son named Ying Zheng. Through Li Buwei's painstaking efforts, Yiren returned to his homeland and inherited the throne. At this point, Li Buwei murdered Yiren, making his own son Ying Zheng the king of Qin—the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Li Buwei believed he had replaced the sky with the sun, substituting his own name for Ying, but in the end, his son did not recognize him, and all his efforts were in vain. This book is adapted from The Romance of the Former Han Dynasty and is divided into twenty-six volumes.
