Death Countdown: Young Ying Zheng Scrambles to Stay Alive as Chancellor

[Transmigrate and Die: Lü Buwei] Bound to a [Life-Extending System], he must survive through hard-nosed political maneuvering, but the countdown to death hanging over his head is the real executioner!

I push open the door. “Your Majesty, I’ve come to pay my respects.”

After dying from overwork, I became Lü Buwei, the chancellor of Qin.

The Life-Extending System says: “If you don’t win over the designated beauty to extend your life, you die.”

When I see “Zhao Ji” at the top of the list, I lose it. The System has no wings.

“If you don’t have a ruthless heart, how can you fight Ying Zheng?” the System warns coldly.

Facing the young Ying Zheng’s eyes, which see through everything,

I offer a plan to curtail his power, but he brushes it aside with ease.

He sets a political trap, and I narrowly escape with my life.

This game of wits between a transmigrator and the future First Emperor is a gamble for my life! Every move puts me a step from death. Amid lingering shadows of brutality and the flickering candlelight in Zhao Ji’s bedchamber, the System’s countdown flashes in my mind.

I steel myself and push open the door. “Your Majesty, I’ve come to pay my respects again. And again. And again.”
