In the Qin Dynasty Imperial Palace.
In the back garden, Emperor Qin Zheng, dressed in a yellow robe, sat quietly by a fish pond, a fishing rod steady in his hand without a single tremor.
After a long while...
The fishing line tugged, and a slight smile appeared on Qin Zheng's face. With a gentle pull, he lifted the entire line, and a large carp flew out of the water. With a single finger, he directed a stream of Innate True Qi to wrap around the carp, sending it flying into a bucket nearby.
The Innate True Qi circulated around the fishhook, which then flew out of the carp's mouth. He baited the hook again and cast it back into the pond.
Qin Zheng's personal eunuch stood far away, not daring to come closer for fear of disturbing His Majesty.
Suddenly—
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" A palace maid ran excitedly from afar.
Qin Zheng frowned, then set the fishing rod aside and stood up.
