Just finished reading The Alchemist of Lantian by BaiFanRuShuang (trans. Ru-Ping Chen) from The Way Spring Arrives and Other Stories, edited by Yu Chen and Regina Kanyu Wang.
Qin Shi Huang was referenced a lot in this story, about a wayward alchemist/kinda immortal, so thank you @xiranjayzhao because after reading Zachary Ying I ACTUALLY know who Qin Shi Huang is. Otherwise I would’ve had to do some heavy googling to understand this story.
