Why is Hu Hai surnamed Hu?
Not Hu, but Won. His full name is Yuan Huhai.

Hu Hai, the youngest son of Qin Shihuang, liked him very much. Hu Hai's mother was called Hu Ji, so after Hu Hai was born, he was named Hu Hai by Qin Shihuang.

Qin Shihuang was the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty. After his death, his youngest son, Hu Hai, succeeded to the throne and became the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, namely Qin Ershi. Hu Hai studied law with Zhao Gao since childhood, and Hu Hai became emperor thanks to the help of Zhao Gao and Reese.

In fact, the heir to the throne was not Hu Hai's, but his brother's son Fu Su's. In order to inherit the throne, Hu Hai forced his younger brother Fu Su to death, but after he inherited the throne, the power was not in his own hands, but was controlled by Zhao Gao.

Hu Hai ignored the affairs of the imperial court and let Zhao Gao control it. Later, under the control of Zhao Gao, the national strength of the Qin Dynasty gradually declined, and so did the Qin Dynasty. Hu Hai reigned for three years and was finally forced to death by Zhao Gao. At that time, he was only 24 years old when he died.
