I Became the Tyrant of Qin's 'Consort' [Book Transmigration]

Important notes up front: 1. Tuqiu is an ancient place name and one of the small states of antiquity. Its royal house used Tuqiu as its clan name. It is not an original invention. 2. During the Warring States period, “consort prince” was an official title in Qin. A princess’s husband was not yet called a consort prince, but was known as her principal son-in-law or the state’s son-in-law, among other titles. The title is used in the novel’s name for simplicity, while the characters will still call him the principal son-in-law. The blurb begins below ↓ Tuqiu Jiu opens and closes his eyes, only to discover he has arrived in the state of Qin during the Warring States period, just as King Zheng is beginning his great campaign of unification. Then he gets a somewhat difficult start: He comes from a noble family in Han, but Han has already been conquered by Qin. He is the legitimate eldest son, yet he has a vicious stepmother and several foolish brothers. His house leaks in every direction, and his food and clothes are no better than a servant’s. He is even implicated in the case of Princess Huazhang’s future principal son-in-law dying suddenly, and his entire family is thrown into prison. To save his life, Tuqiu Jiu uses every trick he can think of to solve the case and escape with his life. Just as he’s working to cut ties with his awful parents and earn a noble title by improving farming tools, preparing to boost agricultural output, he is chosen to become Princess Huazhang’s next principal son-in-law. And on the night before his wedding to Princess Huazhang, he dreams and discovers that he hasn’t transmigrated into history, but into a novel. The protagonist of the book is Prince Huazhang. From childhood, a fangshi forced him to disguise himself as a girl. After the First Emperor dies, Princess Huazhang is devastated by his father’s death and faces Hu Hai’s usurpation, as well as the suicide of his closest brother, Fusu. In a single night, Huazhang loses his family. Most of his siblings are also driven to their deaths. When poison wine is delivered, he snaps, leads his followers in overthrowing Hu Hai, and becomes the ruler of Qin, avenging his father and brothers. But the hatred still smoldering in his heart turns him into a tyrant. Zhao Gao and Li Si are wiped out along with their entire clans, and even those with the slightest connection to them are punished through nine degrees of kinship. Anyone who says a single bad word about the late emperor or Prince Fusu has their tongue torn out and is thrown in prison. Once again, all of Qin is plunged into a bloody storm, and everyone lives in fear. When he wakes from the dream on his wedding night, he’s about to consummate his marriage with the “princess.” Remembering the prince’s potential for madness... Tuqiu Jiu: “QAQ” A few things to know before reading: 1. The protagonist is an exceptionally gifted scholar, proficient in both the sciences and the humanities. Read with caution if that bothers you. 2. No gender swaps or pregnancy, including in the extras. 3. Feel free to discuss. No need to tell me if you drop the novel. My next novel will be "After Traveling Between Two Worlds, I Turned Myself In to My Country". Blurb ↓ Also known as "With My Country Behind Me, I Fear Nothing" Han Xingji accidentally reaches a strange world through a back door in his courtyard. It’s much like the Warring States era in the world of Hua Xia. After gathering information, Han Xingji realizes he may not be the only person who has transmigrated to this world. But he’s the only one who can travel back to his original world and bring things with him. After returning through the door, Han Xingji turns himself in to his country without a second thought. From then on, backed by his nation, he can do whatever he wants. A foreign power develops black powder? Sorry, ever heard of TNT? A foreign power makes cannons? How about our WS-35 guided artillery shells? A foreign power improves its muskets? The Gatling Bodhisattva shows great mercy! As Han Xingji helps Lou Shiwei expand his territory, he’s able to transport more and more things: all kinds of untapped mineral deposits, unexploited undersea oil, natural gas in the earth’s crust... In the energy wars, his motherland transforms into Blue Star’s No. 1. A fatherly top x an optimistic bottom Theme: Helping build up the Qin Empire, one brick at a time
