A programmer dies suddenly from working overtime. When he wakes up, he discovers he has become Ying Mo, the eighth son of Qin Shi Huang.
Before he can celebrate transmigrating, a voice rings out in his mind:
“Ding! Congratulations, Host, you are now bound to the ‘Great Qin’s Strongest Striver System.’ Main quest: Become the second emperor of Great Qin and lead it toward an empire that lasts for ten thousand generations.”
Chen Mo refuses on the spot. “There’s no way I’m becoming emperor! Don’t you know what happened to Qin Shi Huang’s sons? Fusu was sentenced to death, Hu Hai brought the country to ruin, and Hu Hai slaughtered all the other sons. I want to lie flat. I want to slack off!”
“Ding! Host detected shirking duties. The System has automatically activated punishment mode: Every time you refuse a quest, it will send a ‘denunciation letter’ to the First Emperor containing your modern ideas.”
And so, strange bamboo slips begin appearing on Qin Shi Huang’s desk:
“Father, I think the straight roads could be built like this...”
“Father, I have a few humble thoughts on the Xiongnu problem...”
“Father, I really don’t want to write this. The System is making me do it...”
Ying Zheng reads the last bamboo slip and falls into deep thought.
Does this youngest son, whom he has never given a second glance, want to make a name for himself or not?
Until one day, Ying Zheng summons Ying Mo. His gaze complicated, he asks, “Mo’er, just how much are you still hiding from me?”
Ying Mo curses the System ten thousand times in his mind, but says aloud, “Father, I... I really only want to be an idle member of the imperial clan.”
Ying Zheng sneers. “Too late.”
Good-looking, no conspiracy, comfortable
