Quick Transmigration: Raising My Father in the Qin Dynasty

Xi Bao, the little princess of the quick transmigration Bureau, gets a beginner’s mission: become Qin Shi Huang’s eldest granddaughter and be Fusu’s daughter. System Bai Yu meows in her mind: “Your father is going to be exiled. You have to save him.” Three-year-old Xi Bao nods. “Got it. Just tell him not to go.” She doesn’t know what exile, court politics, or the law are. All she knows is: When her father frowns, he needs a hug. When her grandfather gets angry, he needs candy. Her Eighteenth Uncle smiles too falsely, so she should stay away from him. The little wooden horse Uncle Meng gave her is pretty, so she should ride it for her father. At court, blades flash in the shadows. Zhao Gao lays a net of traps, and Qin Shi Huang wavers between father and son. Fusu is on the verge of being demoted and sent to Shang Commandery. Everyone thinks this is a political game. Only Xi Bao runs to see her grandfather every day, candy in hand. “Grandpa, don’t send Dad away, okay? If he goes, who’ll hold Xi Bao while she sleeps?” The four-year-old can’t understand power struggles. She only knows that the whole family should stay together. But what she doesn’t know is this: Qin Shi Huang keeps the crooked family portrait she drew on his desk. Her words, “Dad says Grandpa works very hard,” leave an emperor silent for an entire night. The two candies she shares with poor children by the fields help Fusu win back the hearts of three hundred households who had fled. When it comes to raising Dad, Xi Bao is all he needs.
