Laying Low in Great Qin: The Ancestral Dragon Overhears My Thoughts and Loses It

Ying Ziye transmigrates to the Qin Dynasty and becomes the obscure Ninth Prince.

Knowing that the Qin Dynasty will fall after just two generations and that the court is full of cunning old foxes, he binds himself to the [Ultimate Survival System]. As long as he keeps a low profile and stays out of trouble, he can grow stronger.

So every day, he acts meek and foolish.

But who could have guessed that Qin Shi Huang would awaken a System that lets him hear people’s thoughts!

At court, the First Emperor asks for advice. On the surface, Ying Ziye agrees: “Big Brother is right!”

But inwardly, he scoffs: [Right about what? Confucian ideas will only hasten the dynasty’s collapse. The right way is to institute the imperial examination system and commandery-county administration, then slaughter all the nobles of the Six States while we’re at it!]

Qin Shi Huang is stunned. He immediately makes his decision: “The Ninth Prince makes an excellent point. You are to handle this matter in its entirety!”

Soon the Xiongnu invade and the Hundred Schools of Thought stir up trouble. Ying Ziye rants internally about all kinds of god-tier military strategies and modern technology.

Qin Shi Huang frantically “copies his homework” based on those thoughts, not only conquering the world but also naming Ying Ziye Crown Prince.

Faced with the shock of the entire court and relentless attempts on his life by assassins, Ying Ziye completely breaks down:

“Father, please stop rewarding me! Your son only wants to be a useless nobody and stay alive. Now the whole world wants me dead, and I’m on edge every single day!”
