Xu Fu's Elixir: The Con Man of Qin

By Roman Manalastas

Xu Fu conned the most powerful emperor in history. Then he disappeared.

Emperor Qin Shi Huang - the man who unified China, built the Great Wall, and buried eight thousand terracotta warriors to protect him in the afterlife - believed his alchemist Xu Fu had found the elixir of immortality. He gave him twelve ships, three hundred children, treasure beyond counting, and his most beloved concubine.

Xu Fu gave him a map to Japan.

Then he sailed southeast.

What Xu Fu built on the other side of the Eastern Sea was more complex than any empire he had studied under Qin - a kingdom of stolen treasure and difficult choices, of love found and lost, of children who grew into something their father never planned for.

Including one boy with a birthmark that changed everything.

Xu Fu's Elixir: The Con Man of Qin is the story history lost. The voyage that never returned. The kingdom built on a lie. And the standing stones in eastern Taiwan that nobody has been able to explain.

Until now.
