''The Myth'' (神话, ''Shén Huà'') is a 2010 Chinese series starring Hu Ge, Michelle Bai, Chang Shih, Zhang Meng, Ren Quan, Li Yi Xiang, Chen Zi Han, Tan Kai, Jin Sha and Allen Ting. It's a remake of [[Film/TheMyth the 2005 film of the same name]] and is produced by Creator/JackieChan, who starred in the film.

A mishap with an archaeological artefact leads to Yi Xiao Chuan and Gao Yao being sent back in time to the Qin dynasty. Xiao Chuan becomes sworn brothers with Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, while Gao Yao is forced to become a eunuch and eventually works his way to becoming a high-ranking official.

!!Contains examples of:
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: Many of the characters really existed, including UsefulNotes/QinShiHuangdi, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Gaozu_of_Han Liu Bang]], and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiang_Yu Xiang Yu]]. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meng_Yi Meng Yi]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhao_Gao Zhao Gao]] also existed, though it's safe to say their historical equivalents weren't really time-travellers from the 21st century.
