It shouldn't come as any surprise that this is a dramatization and doesn't bear much resemblance to actual history, but the idea of Ei Sei (AKA Qin Shi Huang) letting his half-siblings live after the coup broke my immersion. The reality is that the only record is of their execution, not survival.

 

[Blazecam]

I’m crying bros. Also people are reading this for accurate history? Lol.

 

[Asset]

yeah I'm just in this for a good story, don't give a damn about accuracy

 

[Groceries]

I guess I've become numb to accuracy seeing how just the horses alone get drawn. 😂

 

[pdonk]

Exciting to think that even with 650-odd chapters as of this writing, we still have at least 150 more to go! Probably more, given how dragged out the last arc became. Or maybe China gets unified in a whirlwind of battles, I don't read history books lol

 

[Dankmemedandan]

Why does he care for her anymore she clearly doesnt give a damn about him. In my opinion if the story had a slightly more hateful sei it would be way better

 

[Proxy_Fool]

@Dankmemedandan A more hateful Sei would make his speech about seeing the light of humanity hypocritical. If Sei even partially believes in his words, then he should aim to be the least hateful, cruel, and dark person he can be.

 

[AlwaysInTheZone]

@Swagner I suppose the shift lies on when and where they were executed. You ought not to readily throw the immersion towel away just because it hasn't happened or was not mentioned, but you are correct that this is a severe dramatization in comparison to what the Shi Ji archives depict.

 

[Hiruel22]

A lot of people bitching about the differences with the shiji records (me included).

yall we know this isn't going to be historically accurate this is for entertainment purposes not educational can we all just enjoy it instead of argue about it plz

To be fair, even in the extension of this story, there’s a good chance the records say execution nonetheless. He obviously won’t disclose their survival to many people.

Yeah, I mean it's not like falsifying the death of people is a new concept for this series. It's an easy enough handwave.
