Daily Life Raising a Child in Great Qin

(A family-bond story, a little bedtime treat)

*

Qin Zichu transmigrates into a parallel world as the grandson of the King of Qin, and the future father of the First Emperor. The pressure is immense.

His original self's father doesn't care for him, and his mother doesn't love him. He is currently a hostage in Zhao. Qin and Zhao have been enemies for years, and he and the young future First Emperor could be killed at any moment to vent someone's anger.

Qin Zichu immediately flees with his son, only to discover that the three-year-old Ying Zheng is far too precocious. Not only does he calmly drive off their pursuers, he also knows the terrain of Qin and Zhao like the back of his hand.

What's more, little Ying Zheng seems especially cold toward his father. His young, innocent face bears an aloofness and distance far beyond his years.

*

After being abandoned by his father, enduring life's hardships, and overcoming countless dangers to ascend the throne, Ying Zheng unexpectedly transmigrates into his three-year-old self at the age of thirteen.

Reunited with the royal father who abandoned his wife and child, making him gradually lose all hope of ever receiving paternal love during a long wait, Ying Zheng feels nothing. He regards the man as little more than a dispensable traveling companion, a stepping stone to the throne.

But this royal father seems very different from the one he knew in his previous life.

"Children should smile more. Don't keep everything bottled up, or you'll end up short."

"Nonsense. What kind of father would abandon his own child? You're not heavy. Carrying you while I run is no different from running by myself."

"Huff... huff... Stop talking. If we get distracted and they catch up, we'll be a pair of fugitive geese, extra crispy."

*

At first, the nobles of Qin looked down on this pair of royal heirs who had fallen into neglect and become hostages. They didn't think the two could make any waves.

No one expected that in just two years, this father and son would defeat their rivals and win the favor of the King of Qin.

Lord Jingyang, who also coveted the throne of Qin, secretly framed Qin Zichu. Knowing that Ying Zheng and his father were at odds, he sent someone to persuade Ying Zheng.

"Lord Jingyang has no son. He is willing to recognize Your Highness as his heir, so you can build Qin's greatness together."

The envoy was certain this mission would succeed. He never expected the usually cool and composed youth to turn menacing, pressing a sword to the messenger's throat.

"I have only one royal father."
