[Great Qin + empress comeback + revelations from the sky screen + political intrigue + iron-fisted rule + no saintly heroine]
After transmigrating to Great Qin, she became Ying Zhao, the sickly little princess least favored by the First Emperor.
At seventeen, she was still confined to a side hall in the cold palace. The court officials ignored her, the royal clan mocked her, and even the palace maids dared to skimp on her medicine.
Ying Zhao's plan was simple: save enough travel money to flee before the Dune Rebellion, then find a small village and quietly live out her life.
But suddenly, a sky screen appeared over Xianyang and began listing its subjects for all the people of the realm to see:
[First of the Four Iron-Blooded Empresses of Huaxia: Emperor Zhao Sheng of Great Qin, Ying Zhao]
On the screen, the good-for-nothing princess who should have died of illness in the cold palace wore black-and-gold armor and led the Great Wall Army in slaughtering three hundred thousand Xiongnu!
She reformed Qin law, abolished collective punishment, opened trade routes, and developed water conservancy, extending Great Qin's life by four hundred years!
The sky screen finished playing.
The entire court was drenched in sweat.
Fusu, who had once looked down on her, knelt outside the hall and begged for an audience.
Li Si wrote three letters of allegiance overnight.
Meng Tian came straight to Xianyang with three thousand cavalry to “protect the emperor.”
And the First Emperor, seated high upon his throne, looked at his youngest daughter seriously for the first time and slowly said:
“Zhao'er, come here and sit beside your father.”
Ying Zhao: “...”
She just wanted to run away!
But the sky screen kept playing: [Ying Zhao succeeded because the First Emperor had already begun paving the way for her while he was still in power...]
The First Emperor smiled.
Ying Zhao cried.
There was no getting out of this path now.
This is the best book I have ever read in the Da Qin series. Come on, author.
Good luck to the author!
