A Qin Dynasty Rebel's Journal

Please add my upcoming novel, My Gluttonous Little Sister, Transmigrated to the Tang Dynasty, to your collection. Thank you for your support.

Blurb:

The moment Cheng Qiao transmigrated into the Qin Dynasty, she wanted to kill herself.

She had become Qin Shi Huang's only younger brother, Cheng Jiao, the failed contender for the throne. The System forced her to follow the course of history and rebel, so she was practically being forced to seek her own death.

But then she discovered a loophole: this body was actually a woman disguised as a man. In other words, Lord Chang'an was Ying Zheng's younger sister?

In the final years of the Warring States period, the people wept and wars raged without end. Suddenly, she wanted to compete with her brother for the throne. Perhaps she could spare the people the suffering of war, or perhaps she could do a better job than him.

“My dear elder brother, you aren't the only one in the world with the surname Ying.”

But rebelling alone still didn't sound satisfying enough to Cheng Qiao.

As a prince of Qin, she might as well go big. That would be much more exciting.

The King of Qin swept across the six kingdoms and unified the four corners of the realm, but the world map was still missing. If she could conquer the whole world, the bright moon of Qin would shine into every household across the globe.

And this time, she would be the one to pacify it all.

Reader's guide:

1. The First Emperor sees right through everything. He dotes on his younger sister, yet also wants to kill her.

2. The female lead is a frail, sweet-on-the-outside, scheming rebel. She isn't a traditional self-sacrificing saint, but she does have a conscience and cares about the people. She herself doesn't agree with the Legalist view of ruling the people prevalent at the time. At heart, she still thinks like a modern person, so her rebellion involves little bloodshed and no sacrifices.

3. The romance is a love-hate relationship. The bonds between ruler and subject, and between brother and sister, are more important. Other male characters who appear may have ambiguous relationships with the female lead.

Upcoming novel:

Li Xiyuan transmigrated as the youngest daughter of a wealthy family. At first, all she knew was that her father was a duke who spent most of his time away working. She knew her surname was Li, but otherwise she was completely in the dark.

The historically clueless Li Sixiao was already perfectly content: Whatever, I don't know anyone anyway.

Then one day, her father finally came home. Pointing to the young man brushing his teeth and washing his face by the water vat, he called to his youngest daughter, “Come meet your second brother, Shimin. He's been serving in the army since he was a child.”

Li Sixiao: ? So our family isn't rich yet after all.

So she clung to her brother's leg. He conquered lands far and wide, becoming the chosen one, while she leisurely ate and played her way across the country, from Jinyang to Luoyang, then from Luoyang to Chang'an, sampling all the delights of the Sui and Tang eras.

Chang'an stretches for thirty thousand li. It is the changing fortunes of the famous figures in the Lingyan Pavilion, the bustling streets filled with foreign beauties and Turks, and the round moon that Li Bai and Du Fu would gaze up at for the rest of their lives.

It is also the dream Li Xiyuan will always seek in her heart.

The food in Chang'an is the best.

Li Shimin: So, could you listen to your sister-in-law and stop eating?

Empress Zhangsun: Just let her eat. It's not as if she can eat our family into poverty.

The people of the Lingyan Pavilion: So His Majesty just lets her freeload everywhere?

Her brother's close friend, Zhangsun Wuji: So now she's come to freeload off me?

Reader's guide:

1. Everyday friendship, family affection, eating and drinking. The female lead has no ambitions. With her brother around, she doesn't need any.

2. Lots of doting, a rather indulgent setup, and an ensemble cast.

3. A sweet little story about a lazybones who loves eating and having fun.

Theme: Face life with a smile.
