I Became Qin Shi Huang’s White Moonlight

Sweet and beautiful good girl on the surface * Dominant young emperor with irresistible charm

Luo A Yao had understood from a young age that being a merchant's daughter who was too beautiful and delicate was no good thing in these troubled times. At just sixteen, she was seized by a prince of Zhao and taken as a concubine.

But on the very day she was to be married, an envoy from Qin arrived with his retinue and announced that she was to enter the Qin palace as a consort.

It turned out that when she was little, she had saved Ying Zheng, the King of Qin, while he was being held hostage.

Now that Luo A Yao, a merchant's daughter, had risen to such heights, she asked for nothing more than to live a quiet, carefree life of comfort. It would be best if that terrifying King of Qin forgot all about her.

But things did not go as she hoped. The king always wanted her by his side. She had to study martial arts and statecraft, and serve him in both court and palace. The young emperor seemed to have endless energy, leaving her too exhausted to walk day after day.

Luo A Yao was at her wits' end. At last, wiping away tears, she told the king that she was merely a merchant's daughter with no ambition whatsoever. The King of Qin gazed at her for a long while, then refused her outright:

"I think you want to meddle in politics."

Luo A Yao was horrified and vehemently denied any such intention. But the King of Qin was furious. He would not listen and insisted on punishing her.

Only when her back ached so badly she could not even get out of bed did Luo A Yao realize that the king's accusation had actually been true.

After years of keeping her head down, Luo A Yao bumped her head one day and suddenly remembered that she had transmigrated here, and that she was a devoted fan of the First Emperor's ambitions. But now the First Emperor actually wanted to make her empress?

No! How could the First Emperor have an empress?

Luo A Yao was horrified and fled in the middle of the night. But the tall emperor blocked her outside the palace gates. The young emperor, dressed in black, strode toward her, the sound of chains following in his wake.

"A Yao, the whole world belongs to me now. Where do you think you can run?"

Ying Zheng had always known that his A Yao looked beautiful and docile, but was actually just as stubborn and rebellious as he was. The first time she tried to escape, the Minister of the Household came to ask what to do. He simply said she was new to Qin and did not know the rules.

The second time she fled, she was caught and brought back. She cried and said she knew she had been wrong. Her tears softened his heart, so he let her off without punishment, saying she was young and didn't know any better.

She had admitted her mistake. There was no need to punish her again.

That was until he seized power and united the seven kingdoms, with all the land and its people under his rule. And yet she ran away again.

That night, the emperor sat atop a high terrace, watching her flee in panic. He personally ordered artisans to make a golden cage.

From then on, he would never again believe a word of her sweet talk. No matter how much she cried and begged, he would never forgive her.

He would have everything he wanted.

The world was no exception, and neither was she.

This is actually a sweet romance about a young emperor and a beautiful girl. One-on-one, both devoted to each other. (Don't worry about whether it makes sense for the First Emperor to have an empress, okay?)

Please don't hate on me. This is a self-indulgent work of fanfiction from someone with a self-insert crush. If it's not your thing, just click away.
