It is known to all that the King of Qin will surely sweep across the land and unify the seas.

Even if the state of Qi submits again, it will only be a desperate struggle for a few more days.

What truly hinders the King of Qin's progress is the sudden drought in the Qin territory.

Ever since the tribute from the Qi people, there has been no rain in the Qin territory for a full eight months.

The King of Qin has decided to perform a rain-making ceremony.

He will carry out the duties of an emperor in the name of the feudal lords.

But now, there is no one in the world who can defy the King of Qin.

His intentions are like an unbreakable law.

So the entire country is preparing for the ceremony.

The ceremony is set to take place on the top of the southern mountain in Xianyang, where a special altar called Changsheng Altar has been built, according to the scholars' ideas to please the King of Qin.

Ever since that joking remark at the banquet,

countless scholars have gathered in Xianyang, as if everyone understands the secret of immortality.

In their eyes, I, who do not even comprehend the path to immortality, am about to lose the favor of the King of Qin.

But I don't care about any of that.

I even used my illness as an excuse to not attend the grand ceremony.

Because all I think about now is Lady Hu.

I am willing to take risks and rescue Lady Hu while the King of Qin is away at the ceremony!
