Instrument Competition

The Great Qin Empire is a sweeping historical novel chronicling the rise and fall of the Qin state. Emerging from the ferocious competition among rival warlords, the Qin Empire established a powerful, unified dynasty and pioneered a new Iron Age civilization. Yet it lasted only 15 years, vanishing like a fleeting meteor. Within this dramatic historical arc lie countless legendary tales of heroes, statesmen, and their intertwined fates-noble or wicked, heroic or ordinary-all composing a grand historical symphony. The social framework and cultural traditions forged by the Qin Empire continue to shape Chinese life today, forming a cornerstone of the nation's spiritual identity. The Qin Empire rose through ruthless competition, embodying the pragmatic, innovative spirit of its era. It championed legalism, sweeping reforms, centralized governance, and relentless state-building. Over 160 years and six generations of rulers, it achieved a revolutionary transformation, unifying China and ushering in a new Iron Age civilization that redefined agricultural society. This monumental literary work vividly portrays Qin's arduous journey from near-collapse to dominance during the Warring States period (475-221 BCE). Beginning with Duke Xiao of Qin, the state pursued reforms and modernization through generations of unyielding effort, ultimately conquering rival states to unify China.

Later, during the school art performance, the young girl sat on stage, dressed in ancient costume, with a veil covering her face, holding a pipa, her eyebrows shy, appearing both delicate and graceful... He raised his alluring eyes, recalling the girl said she knew a little about musical instruments and chess; she was modest. Seeing him in the audience, her heart raced, wanting to perform well but accidentally struck the wrong chord, fortunately unnoticed by him... Later still, the young girl, now grown, suddenly confessed to him, and the usually calm and composed man was caught off guard... It was a love she had hidden deep in her heart for many years, like shards of glass in her palm, both a patient endurance and impulsive agony... The joy of love at first sight, a hidden affection... She would never know that the brother she secretly admired had been waiting for her to grow up...

Aric, however, quickly discovers the truth—his system isn’t simply an instrument of pleasure; it’s a taboo weapon of the gods, one that could make him the ultimate ruler… or the greatest threat to all of existence.
