Transmigrated as Ying Zheng, Abandoned from the Start

I woke up to find I had become Ying Zheng. Time and place: Handan, under siege, a living hell.

From the start, it was nightmare difficulty: my deadbeat dad, Yiren, and Lü Buwei fled back to Qin, leaving me and my beautiful mother, Zhao Ji, behind in Zhao to await our deaths.

The history books only say his childhood was hard. They never mention that “hard” meant being cursed and hunted by the people of Zhao every day, and struggling through hunger and cold every night.

But you’ve forgotten: I’m a soul from the future!

Knowledge is my greatest cheat.

From learning to identify wild vegetables to raising rats, from intimidating ruffians to winning people over, I struggle to survive in the mire of Zhao, quietly weaving my first network of connections.

The throne in Xianyang awaits me. Lü Buwei’s political scheming, Empress Dowager Huayang’s Chu faction, the threat posed by my brother Chengjiao… all will become new battlefields after I return to Qin.

When I finally set foot in Xianyang Palace and face the court, I know that in the end, this world will be reshaped according to my will.

I came, I saw, I conquered: from an abandoned child in Handan to the ruler of all under heaven.
