Qin Rong traveled back to the end of the Qin dynasty and into the home of a merchant family. Unable to stomach millet porridge every day, she put the half-baked agricultural knowledge from her past life to use so she could get something delicious to eat.
Buckwheat has male and female plants, so bees can be used to pollinate it. Wild grapes on the mountain can be made into wine. While still very young, she helped her father become a wealthy merchant.
Her father, Zhao Zheng, consequently won the admiration of Qin Shi Huang. "Your dad will become a high-ranking official and give you a good life, little girl!"
Qin Rong: "!!!"
How could she let that happen? The Qin dynasty was about to fall.
She'd already planned to find Liu Bang and help her father earn merit by supporting the future emperor.
The Qin fortune-teller Rong was here!
Qin Rong: "Dad, Prince Fusu will be framed and driven to suicide."
Her eldest brother, who had been practicing swordplay in the courtyard, dropped his sword.
Qin Rong: "Dad, the Qin dynasty will last only two generations under Hu Hai!"
Her father's hand, which had been stroking the head of Qin Rong's little brother, froze.
Qin Rong: "Dad, even if only three Chu families remain, Chu will destroy Qin. Liu Bang is from Chu! We're definitely backing this golden finger!"
Her father said he would do whatever Qin Rong told him.
On the first day of the first month of the Zhuanxu calendar, Emperor Shi Huang, whose surname was Ying, clan name Zhao, and personal name Zheng, had a daughter. An overseas Daoist priest declared that her fate was closely tied to the dragon veins of the Qin dynasty and that Heaven might take her life. She needed to be raised among the people under an assumed name.
Later, Liu Bang became Qin Rong's adoptive father, Xiang Yu became her sworn elder brother, and Han Xin became her teacher.
They were enfeoffed as King of Han, King of Chu, and King of Qi, respectively. Each was a brilliant strategist, and they expanded outward, conquering Anxi, Kushan, and the Roman Empire across Eurasia.
Her father even smiled and asked Qin Rong, "What do you think of your adoptive father's son, Liu Ying? Wouldn't he make a good husband?"
Qin Rong: "???"
This isn't how history went, hey! Why hasn't the Qin dynasty fallen yet?
Everyday life, food, and being the golden finger for her dad, Qin Shi Huang
