Great Qin: Good Grief! I Really Never Wanted to Be Emperor

Qi Nian transmigrates to the Qin dynasty with just one goal: earn noble titles, level up his System, and grow stronger in secret.

He opens a dessert shop that brings in a fortune every day, recruits Mohist disciples to build his power, and even takes on a “godfather” with connections reaching the very top.

His godfather gets him out of a prison crisis, helps him maneuver in court, and even lets him take part in planning the campaign against Chu.

Qi Nian believes he is his godfather’s sharpest weapon, destined to become the most powerful of the Nine Ministers and command the entire court.

Until one night, Ying Zheng’s old illness flares up, and he holds Qi Nian’s hand without letting go:

“For all these years, I have been searching for someone.”

“Now that I’ve found him, there is no one else in this realm who can take my place.”

Qi Nian is still wondering who “he” could be when Ying Zheng picks up the Heirloom Seal of the Realm and gently places it before him.

The hall falls silent. Zhao Gao turns ashen.

Qi Nian’s eyes widen in shock. “Wait… you want me to become… what???”
