Name: Nanqi: Fate's Return
Author: Xi Meng

Synopsis

[Historical soul transmigration / political intrigue / dual perspectives]

(Inspired by research and filled in with conjecture: the final days of the Qin Dynasty through the eyes of a transmigrator, from the book burnings to the death of Ziying)

When Wen Xi transmigrates, Qin Shi Huang is in the middle of burning books.

She thinks she is nothing more than an insignificant maid, until she is assigned to the Sixteenth Princess, Ying Fuxi.

This princess, unknown to the history books, has reviewed Qin Shi Huang's memorials and revised Fusu's petitions. On the night of the book burnings, she said, “I will remember.” After the scholars were buried alive, she revised an admonition for her elder brother, though she knew it would be useless.

On the day Fusu is exiled to Shangjun, Ying Fuxi does not go to see him off.

She only asks Wen Xi, “Is he dressed warmly?”

Wen Xi says, “Yes.”

Ying Fuxi nods and says nothing.

Later, the forged imperial edict arrives from Shangjun. Fusu is dead.

After that, Qin Shi Huang dies, Hu Hai ascends the throne, Zhao Gao seizes power, and the realm falls into chaos.

Wen Xi watches helplessly as Ying Fuxi goes from “the princess at Father Emperor's side” to “the elder sister feared by the new emperor,” and as the Xianyang Palace passes from the night of the book burnings to Ziying's white horses and plain carriage.

She knows everything. There is nothing she can do.

The only thing she can do is pretend not to know when Ying Fuxi asks, “Is the moonlight in Shangjun the same as it is in Xianyang?”

When the history books leave only seven characters, “The tenth princess was crushed to death at Du,” she sees the final years of the Qin Dynasty through her own eyes, through spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Translated by Google Translate

The time is about 3 years before and after the death of the First Emperor. When it comes to children, there are multiple versions. I use the version with thirty-three children (son 23, daughter 10). The royal family's surname is Nangong, Southern Dynasty (there will be some weapons and tools that did not appear in the Qin Dynasty, so don't ask me why I have letters and papers). The characters are as non-ooc as possible. Many historical figures use their original names, some ages have been changed, and there are many private settings. Friends who like it please leave a comment~ —The young author doesn't feel very good but is working hard to make progress— The previous article is the setting of the first version (which can be ignored). I decided to change the text (check the revised content) and directly write about historical figures (some are fictional and some are real, all based on the speculation of the historical data). From the burning of writing to the murder of Ziying, no large-scale historical facts will be changed! It's not a cool article (I can't write to everyone's satisfaction. If you feel uncomfortable, just quit. Thank you. Reading the article will open your heart. If you are not happy with my article, please cross it out) [Finally! Dog head saves life: Please do not benchmark or even rise to the official history, everything is my personal speculation]

The story is very well written, and the story line is clear and concise. I have rarely read the subject of two female protagonists, but the story is well written and very attractive. There are relatively few updates at the moment. I must stick to it and look forward to the following plots~

I think it's okay, so I'll continue watching Little Couple. I heard that rating 4 points is beneficial?
