[Qin Er Shi] A Jokester, Yet the Greatest Emperor of All Time

After transmigrating, Zhao Leqin struggled to communicate through gestures, piecing things together by half-guessing until he finally used his Mandarin-accented version of ancient speech to clear up the question that had been bothering him:

Who was that dad of his who looked so strong?

Qin Shi Huang.

Once Zhao Leqin figured it out, he could hardly keep from laughing out loud:

Was all this incredible wealth finally coming my way?

But once he calmed down, a chill suddenly ran through him:

Wait, maybe I was celebrating too soon!

Didn't Qin Shi Huang's sons end up being buried alive, beheaded, or torn apart by chariots?

He was rich, but not exactly safe.

Zhao Leqin thought fiercely: Shouldn't I strike first and kill that little brat Hu Hai?

It wasn't until a twist of fate finally revealed his place in the line of succession that Zhao Leqin understood:

So I'm the crown prince battle content creator, the Fusu-Repelling Hero, the royal clan's top elimination-game champion, Great Qin's Peppa Pig, and Hu “I Give Up” Hai.

Zhao Leqin calmly thought:

If I'm the danger, then I'm in no danger.

Your Majesty, your leaky little jacket is here!

Scene One:

Determined to be the happiest kid in the Qin palace, Zhao Leqin rubbed his hands together and prepared to stir up some trouble, just to test his imperial father's limits.

Just look at what the old man had accomplished: he conquered the six states and unified the four seas, created the title of emperor, and erected stone steles to praise himself for his “long-lasting virtue and benevolence.”

His achievements shone brightly through the pages of history.

Surely he wouldn't risk his reputation in life and death just to leave a line in the history books like, “The prince was three years old when the emperor flew into a rage and demoted him to commoner.”

So Zhao Leqin decided: While he still had the body of a little child, he was going to open His Majesty's eyes!

And so, the silent Xianyang Palace began to echo with Ying Zheng's angry shouts: “You insolent brat!”

The first time he lost his temper, all the attendants around them dropped to their knees in fear.

Three months later, the attendants all knew that the king was merely putting on a gruff front, with a soft heart underneath.

A year later, the whole court had heard the saying, “The king has a young son, and he loves him dearly.”

Zhao Leqin smiled faintly: That's how you lower someone's standards, one step at a time.

Scene Two:

Midsummer, Shacheu.

Zhao Leqin repeatedly reached out to check Ying Zheng's pulse, utterly shocked.

How could the man have been cursing him for being long-winded and stuffing fruit into his mouth just yesterday, full of energy, only to be deathly pale and barely breathing today?!

Ying Zheng weakly opened his eyes and moved his lips, his voice barely audible.

Zhao Leqin hurriedly leaned close to his ear.

“I...”

Before he could finish, Ying Zheng's pulse stopped.

The blow of reality struck like a bolt from the blue. Zhao Leqin screamed, blurting out, “I clearly fixed everything! How did I still fail to save him from his destined death?!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Ying Zheng, who had been on the verge of death, suddenly opened his eyes.

“I knew you were pretending to be stupid!”

His grief abruptly vanished, leaving him feeling more than a little awkward.

Not fun.

Can the First Emperor of a Thousand Ages really trick a child?

A few days later, Zhao Leqin was bored and climbed into Qin Shi Huang's imperial carriage, hoping to scrounge up some fruit from his old man. Instead, he was suddenly asked a question.

“Do you want to be emperor?”

Zhao Leqin froze on the spot.

“Father?”

His Majesty gave him a sidelong glance.

“Look at you, so timid.”
