[By the time you open this book, I will have transmigrated to Handan in the Warring States period. Things go wrong from the start: I nearly freeze and starve to death, only to be taken home by Zhao Ji and made the personal “bedtime story teacher” to three-year-old Ying Zheng.]
Other people transmigrate to fight for supremacy. I just want to lie flat and live off someone else!
I casually tell a bedtime story, and Ying Zheng immediately grasps the art of kingship!
I casually make some honeycomb briquettes, and the whole world thinks it's an immortal art that turns stone into gold!
I casually criticize a couple of military tactics, and Wang Jian and Meng Tian drop to their knees to beg me to be their master!
The more I slack off, the more the whole world thinks I'm an earthly immortal!
The less I want to stir things up, the harder Ying Zheng pushes himself. He insists on dragging me along to unify the Six Kingdoms!
Lu Buwei is completely broken: “I give up! Which one of us is Ying Zheng's adoptive father, anyway?!”
The rulers of the Six Kingdoms all wail together: “Please, do something about Ying Zheng! We'll surrender, all right?!”
The first thing Ying Zheng does after ascending the throne is cling tightly to Qin Chuan's leg. “Father! You have to take the elixir of immortality first! As long as you're not dead, I don't dare grow old!”
Qin Chuan: “Help! I really just want to live off someone else!”
A pretty good book, worth reading
