I dressed up as Qin Shihuang's favorite little princess, Ying Yinman.
The history books say that my brothers and sisters and I would be brutally murdered by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao after the death of the First Emperor.
I don't want to die.
So I started laying out.
I quietly approached Zhao Gao, studied law with him, and became the most law-savvy princess in the Qin Dynasty.
I secretly attracted Meng Yi and asked him to teach me writing and master the correspondence between North Korea and Chinese.
I even went to make friends with Li Si's son and inquire about the goings-on in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
I thought I was playing a big game.
Until late that night, my father suddenly appeared at the door of my bedroom, holding a stack of secret reports in his hand.
"Daughter," Qin Shihuang looked at me expressionlessly, "Zhao Gao said that you have been studying law with him recently. Meng Yi said that you asked him many court secrets. Also, is that boy Li You too close to you?"
My heart is racing.
"Father, I can explain..."
Qin Shihuang waved his hand and interrupted me.
Then he laughed.
The man who unified the six countries knelt down, touched my head and said -
"Daughter, next time you want to rebel, tell daddy. Dad will help you."
