Qin Shi Huang and His White Moonlight

[Alternate history, fantasy, tragic love across three lifetimes, devoted to each other. The plot is entirely fictional.]

The tragic love story of Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng and his beloved Zhao Yuan'er spans three lifetimes. In their previous life, he ruled the world, conquering the six states with an iron fist and unifying China. Yet his rise was paved with betrayal by those closest to him and political machinations. He became cruel and tyrannical, until all that remained in his heart was power and ambition. She, meanwhile, was a lowborn daughter of the Zhao chancellor, born in the dust and raised amid hardship. Her birth mother mysteriously disappeared after giving birth to her. From then on, misfortune followed her, and like a drifting leaf, she was tossed about at others’ mercy. Lü Buwei and her father treated her as a pawn to win Ying Zheng’s favor and presented her to him when he was young. At first, he despised her, but later fell deeply in love with her, until she was all he could see.

A book called The Secret Scroll of the Moon and a portrait of her birth mother became the keys to fate, opening the door to the secrets of her mother’s past. She discovers with horror that her mother and her entire clan were made into elixirs by the King of Qin because of their unusual constitution. The truth cuts like a blade, and the lovers become enemies.

After failing to assassinate the King of Qin, she takes her own life, believing she has betrayed her mother. Heartbroken, Ying Zheng makes a pact with the Netherworld Clan, selling his soul in exchange for immortality. He willingly endures a thousand years of torment, all to find his beloved’s reincarnation.

In this life, he finds her reborn as Mi Xiaonuo, a third-year medical student. On the day her boyfriend and best friend betray her, a twist of fate brings her into his world. The wheels of destiny begin to turn, and an even more sweeping and breathtaking story is about to unfold...
