[Blurb]
Ji Yue is a devoted fan of Qin King Ying Zheng. Even two thousand years later, no matter how the official and unofficial histories condemn Ying Zheng as cruel and merciless, tyrannical and brutal, nothing can stop Ji Yue from admiring and adoring him.
The Biography of the Qin King is the account of Ying Zheng that best matches Ji Yue's imagination. The Qin King swept away the Six States and unified the realm, declaring himself the First Emperor. He abolished the enfeoffment system and established prefectures and counties, standardized writing and axle widths, and unified weights and measures...
He was a great ruler. If he had not suffered so much as a child, with a father who did not care for him and a mother who did not love him, and endured betrayal after betrayal, perhaps he would still have retained a little softness in his heart. Perhaps he would not have become the tyrant remembered throughout history.
The dynasty he founded should not have fallen after only two generations. If his mother, Zhao Ji, had not been so debauched, hurting and abusing him, perhaps he might have developed a healthy view of love, instead of having a heart ashen as death, loving neither women nor his own children.
These were Ji Yue's thoughts after finishing The Biography of the Qin King.
Then she transmigrated into it...
She became... Zhao Ji. When she woke up, a seven-year-old Ying Zheng was by her side.
She resolved to raise Ying Zheng well, help him ascend the throne, and make him the greatest ruler in history, a wise emperor for the ages.
But she did not realize that she had not transmigrated into the historical Qin dynasty. The people around her were not the pitiful child she expected, but the darkened Zheng, who had drifted for a hundred years after death and been reborn after the fall of Qin.
She was raising him like her own child, all the while thinking of him as a kid. Heh!
Reader's Guide:
1. Female lead Ji Yue (transmigrated) x male lead Ying Zheng (reborn). The female lead transmigrates into the story in her own body. They are not related by blood. They are fifteen years apart in age at first, and the female lead later becomes immortal.
2. Let me say it three times: This story is set in an alternate world. It draws on a fictional history written in The Biography of the Qin King, and differs in some ways from real history.
3. Update schedule: Daily at 9:00 p.m.; other times are for fixing errors.
Theme: Long live the First Emperor
