After transmigrating to the Great Xia Dynasty, Qin Che became a low-ranking county magistrate, only to be married off by the Empress and made her husband. He thought he had an unbeatable start, but instead he was sent to Pei County, a miserable backwater, to serve as magistrate under the pretense of gaining experience. To escape the Empress’s attention, Qin Che did the bare minimum for three years. At last, he got exactly what he asked for: a divorce decree.
But he had no idea that his daughter could read minds and already knew all about what he had done in Pei County. She insisted on meeting her father, so the Empress reluctantly accompanied her there. And then…
“Pei County has built five huge granaries!”
“Daddy built them all. He even used rotten grain to brew wine.”
“Why is there a well inside the inn?”
“Don’t drink from it, Mother! Daddy just used the toilet. That’s a chamber pot!”
“Pei County even has cannons! Have them all brought back to the palace!”
“Shh, Mother. You don’t want Daddy finding out we took his cannons, do you?”
Some time later, the Empress held her daughter and said, “Husband, for our daughter’s sake, let’s get married! From now on, you’ll be the emperor!”
Qin Che: “Huh?”
