Name: I Became Qin Shi Huang's Second Qin Emperor
Author: Gold and Jade Fill the Courtyard

Synopsis

A biological father-daughter relationship with the First Emperor

Zhao Buxi, a remnant of the Six Kingdoms living in the Qin dynasty and the daughter of a beauty from the fallen state of Zhao, looks at her golden finger, then at the talented man she has just recruited.

She falls into deep thought. You need talent to make use of a golden finger. Xiang Yu could do it, Liu Bang could do it, so why couldn’t she, Zhao Buxi?

“Great talent, the Qin dynasty is tyrannical and the people are suffering. As soon as the First Emperor dies, the realm will fall into chaos. When that happens, let’s rebel together and take his place.”

Zhao Buxi slaps the table. “Let’s rebel together! When I become emperor, I’ll make you a king!”

Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, whom Zhao Buxi has praised as a born genius of rebellion: “…Fine.”

So Zhao Buxi begins crossbreeding wheat, refining steel, stockpiling grain, and building high walls.

Years later, Zhao Buxi has made all the preparations for rebellion, but no matter how long she waits, she never hears news of the First Emperor’s death.

Then one day, her rebellion is exposed. Zhao Buxi watches as Qin’s great general Meng Tian climbs down from his chariot and walks over to her talented man. “Your Majesty, why are you plotting a rebellion?”

Her talented man turns to look at her. “My daughter, why are you plotting a rebellion?”

Zhao Buxi: It’s fine. I can follow Li Shimin’s or Zhu Di’s playbook and keep rebelling. The realm will still be mine! After rounding things off, my father’s hard work is just building up my inheritance!

[Reader’s guide]

1. A feel-good historical fanfic. Fundamentally a wish-fulfillment story, not a serious historical drama. The female lead has a powerful golden finger and blazes her way through everything.

2. The author wrote this for fun and hopes readers enjoy it. This is not real history, just transformative fanfiction, and it won’t stand up to historical scrutiny.
