[Great Qin] An Assassin's Survival Guide

A miserable actor from the lower ranks of the industry transmigrates to the end of the Warring States period and becomes Jing Ke, the famous assassin who gained renown for sacrificing himself in an attempt to assassinate the King of Qin.

By then, King Zhuangxiang of Qin has just passed away, and thirteen-year-old Ying Zheng has ascended the throne. His uncle Lü Buwei controls the government, and undercurrents swirl throughout the court and country.

Cui Yuan, who fears death more than anyone, immediately declares:

Um, he'd like to switch sides and join the good guys!

To change his miserable fate of getting caught in the crossfire and dying, Cui Yuan changes his name and identity, then embarks on a diligent quest to stay alive.

Later, many stories circulate about Cui Yuan, the Qin state's Left Chancellor, who supposedly traveled to various states as a young man.

He once studied in Lanling, where the great scholar Xunzi praised him: "His learning spans past and present. Few can match him."

He also spent time in the Yan capital, where Gao Jianli played the zhu and sighed, "A mountain stream may find its echo, but a kindred spirit is hard to come by."

He once shared the sky as his roof while discussing the past and present with the King of Qin.

He also once secretly took the hand of the person he loved beneath the moon and among the flowers...

Cui Yuan: I admit it, but not entirely.

→ A few warnings

a. This is an alternate historical world. The timeline and characters' ages have been adjusted, so it has no historical research value.

b. This is not a choose-your-love-interest story. The protagonist is the bottom, with one-on-one romance.

c. The male lead's only pairing is Chengjiao.

→ Here's a recommendation for my upcoming stories~

① "The Cross-Dressing Big Shot in the Three Kingdoms"

Question: What exactly makes "four generations of high-ranking officials" so impressive?

Yuan Xu: Thanks for asking. I'm in the Three Kingdoms, just turned seventeen. Yuan Shao is my older brother, Yuan Shu is my younger brother, and my buddy is Cao Cao. Back in the day, I would've thought ancient people were such posers. Now... Ah, being rich feels great!

But Yuan Xu touches the hairpins and ornaments in his hair.

System Dad, is there really nothing wrong with my gender?

② "[Investiture of the Gods] The Calamity-Born Beauty's Style Is All Wrong"

Su Nian is very pleased with her transmigrated identity.

From birth, she is stunningly beautiful and from a wealthy family. Her father, brothers, and friends all dote on her, and the rare treasures in her home are beyond counting. If nothing goes wrong, she's destined for a life of luxury.

Until she turns fifteen, when her father changes her name to "Daji."

Yes, that Daji, the calamity-born beauty ordered to seduce King Zhou.

A later heavenly text records:

While the Shang king was out hunting, he found a fox woman, a peerless beauty who used her seductive charms to bring ruin to the country and corrupt its ruler.

From then on, the Shang king devoted himself to alchemy and had countless soldiers personally test the poisons;

He built a huge pool of wine and a forest of meat, leaving the common people to beg for food and cling to life;

He spent thousands of acres to win a smile from the demoness, planting evil plants throughout Shang that bore sinister fruit in every season, making livestock howl in agony when they ate it;

Terrifying thunderbolts and flames appeared night after night. The gods had long been enraged, so they sent Jiang Ziya to assist King Wu in overthrowing Shang and exterminating the demoness.

Di Xin, checking the effects of bone-strengthening pills in his camp: "..."

Bi Gan, in Zhaoge, urging the people to drink less and eat less meat: "..."

Su Nian, working hard in the fields: "..."

Jiang Ziya, who happened to witness a cow give birth to ten calves in a fit of rage after eating the fruit: "..."

Good grief, don't believe or spread rumors, folks!
