Great Qin: The First Emperor Reads My Mind, and I Wait for the Sword Saint's Legacy

Ying Zige transmigrates as the First Emperor's thirteenth son and gets a Laid-Back System. He plans to act like a good-for-nothing and wait for the empire to collapse before making his escape. But when he volunteers to pursue Gai Nie, Ying Zheng hears his thoughts: "Zhao Gao will alter the imperial edict, get Fusu killed, and put Hu Hai on the throne. The Qin dynasty will fall in its second generation."

Ying Zheng's hand shakes, spilling tea, though outwardly he remains calm while a storm rages within. Ying Zige continues grumbling to himself: "Li Si's plan to govern through leniency and win the people's support is pure nonsense. It'll break the hearts of the old Qin people." Ying Zheng turns around and adopts the policies of standardizing axle widths and unifying the written script. His source? He stole it all from his son's mind.

As Ying Zige figures out how to use the Quicksand Organization against Gai Nie and swipe his Yuanhong sword, Ying Zheng has already given the order in advance. Li Si, interrupted mid-sentence, is utterly baffled. Ying Zige is confused too: Why does Brother Zheng know the story better than I do? He lounges in his quarters, getting palace maids to massage him as he goes over his plans, completely unaware that every thought he voices is helping Ying Zheng lay out the foundations of a unified empire.

Meanwhile, the true Sword Saint inheritance is on its way from a direction he never expected.
