Great Qin: Fusu's Diary Was Snatched by the First Emperor

Transmigrated into the dying Qin prince Fusu, I awakened a diary System. Write three hundred characters, and I get a reward. The System guaranteed: “The contents are absolutely private. No mortal or spirit can uncover them.” So I let loose and started spoiling everything in my diary: “Father, the elixirs are poisoned. You have only three years left!” “Zhao Gao and Li Si are going to alter the edict. The Qin Dynasty is about to collapse!” “Xu Fu is a fraud. He’s going overseas to set himself up as a king!” I used the blueprints and seeds I earned as rewards to quietly advance technology while locked in the imperial prison. Then one day, Father suddenly released me and gave me endless resources. I was puzzled, but revenge waits for no one. Gunpowder roared, steel crossbows rained down, and standardized parts turned the Qin army into a war machine. I built great galleons, formed an invincible fleet, and set my sights overseas, on the land Xu Fu had once described as an island of immortals: Wa. On the day we landed, I played my guitar and used cannon fire to send the Wa people’s canoes to their graves. I established a national policy: any man taller than a sword must be castrated and enslaved. I would spend a hundred years making sure not a single unmixed Wa remained on that land. In Xianyang Palace, Father read the diary entries arriving alongside the battle reports, drank the “Happy Water” that should have been mine, and smiled knowingly. Only when I returned in triumph did I suddenly realize at the victory banquet: Why did Father have a copy of every “System reward” I received? And why could my “absolutely private” diary predict the future with such accuracy? Ying Zheng leaned close and whispered, his words like a thunderclap: “Rebellious son, your diary... is quite good. Keep writing. I enjoy reading it.” It turned out my greatest cheat was the First Emperor of the ages, silently smoothing the way for me from behind the scenes as he watched me reveal the future.
