  Summary

  Hello and welcome to the fourth project I have started and most likely won't finish.
  This is kind of an imaginary reconstruction of Zhao Gao's life without any pretense of being historically accurate in any way shape or size so read at your own risk.
  Any (polite) suggestion is more than welcome

  Summary

  Disclaimer: While the “story” itself doesn’t contain actual graphic depictions of violence I still put it under that category so if anyone feels uncomfortable with it knows it in advance.

  This is an AU-ish thing inspired by Heavenly Tyrant once again, basically a what-if Qin Zheng never got the power after the experiments
