Reborn as a Divine Beast of the Great Qin: I Carry the First Emperor with Sign-In Rewards

[Qin Shi Huang, divine beasts, infrastructure, adorable child-rearing, lighthearted comedy, System, no romance]

At the First Emperor's grand ceremony to worship Heaven, the officials bowed and prayed for an auspicious sign from above.

Jiang Li plunged straight down from the sky and landed squarely on Ying Zheng's imperial crown.

Surrounded by Qin soldiers with drawn swords and the First Emperor glaring darkly, she thought she was about to be roasted alive. But then she awakened the Great Nation's Blessings Sign-In System.

To save her life, she signed in and spat out a pile of high-yield sweet potatoes.

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately named her the Auspicious Beast Who Protects the Nation.

Jiang Li thought she could lie flat, but Ying Zheng brought the civil and military officials to the ancestral temple every day for a praise session:

"My esteemed bird minister is an auspicious sign bestowed upon Great Qin by Heaven. A flap of her wings can settle the realm, and a glance can bring peace to the people."

"If my esteemed bird minister would bestow just a little of her blessings, then let alone the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, even all the nations under Heaven would know that Great Qin is protected by the divine."

Jiang Li could barely keep the grin off her face. In a moment of excitement, she signed in and spat out the "Steelmaking Technique."

Ying Zheng knew how to play the long game to catch the big fish, so he sent three-year-old Fusu to her.

The little tyke called her "Sister Divine Bird, you are the best in all the world" at every turn, and Jiang Li was completely won over.

Determined not to let him call her sister for nothing, and to change the tragedy of Fusu drawing his sword and taking his own life, she went from divine bird to taking human form. While the First Emperor coaxed her into making gunpowder and building straight roads, she taught young Fusu.

Years later, when Zhao Gao and Li Si tried to rebel, Fusu, now a grown and iron-willed crown prince, drew his sword and cut down the treacherous ministers.

Seated on the throne of the nation's divine maiden, Jiang Li watched over the mighty, flourishing Qin Empire and stroked her chin in thought:

Though I only took the job because I got tricked into it, the results really aren't bad.
