After getting a conquest System, Zhao Zhi thought she was the heroine of a novel and eagerly chose Ying Zheng as her conquest target.
The first time they met, A Zhi was an assassin.
System: With this identity, it's bound to be a legendary tragic romance!
Zhao Zhi rubbed her hands together in anticipation, but who could have guessed that the moment they met, she would drop all her assassination weapons on the ground?
The second time they met, Zhao Zhi was a princess of Zhao sent to marry into another state.
System: A bittersweet story torn between love and country. So moving, I'm already crying.
Zhao Zhi was about to charge forward bravely, but their very first encounter turned out to be an attempted elopement...
The third time, Zhao Zhi finally got close to the First Emperor and became one of his attendants.
System: Isn't this a cozy sweet romance, a workplace love story in the Qin Empire?!
But Ying Zheng was still Ying Zheng. He was cold and ruthless, and knew how to keep his subordinates in line. Zhao Zhi was left teary-eyed, forced to start a 24/7 work life.
The fourth time, Zhao Zhi was Zhao Gao's biological older sister, and he dragged her along on the road to destroying the Qin dynasty.
System: Let's see, will she abandon evil for good, or start another tragic romance?
Just as Zhao Zhi was about to take the stage and launch into a tirade, the doors were kicked open and they were surrounded.
The fifth time, the scenario was moved back ten years, and she became a spoiled young lady who bullied the hostage Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zhi's eyes filled with tears as she clenched her fists.
Was it finally her turn to turn things around?!
But reality slapped her in the face. Brother Zheng had a heart of iron, impossible to move or sway.
And at that point, the System: unable to ship them, lying flat, and missing...

On the day torrential rain poured down over Xianyang, Zhao Zhi and the System faked their deaths and disappeared.
After that day, every midnight, Ying Zheng would recall one of Zhao Zhi's save-file reincarnations.
As autumn leaves drifted down, he paid it no mind, immersed himself in state affairs, and suppressed every stirring of his heart.
When the snow of deep winter fell, warmth seemed to follow him, but when he turned around, no one was there, leaving him all the colder.
When spring arrived and all things revived, red beans took root, and longing sank into his bones, yet he could not wait for her to return.
--From then on, the empire rose, with thousands of miles of territory and endless loneliness.

The System at that time: Did we... succeed in the conquest?
Zhao Zhi rolled over and continued sunbathing, lazily patting her skirt.
Of course. There's no one you can't conquer, only conquest players who don't try hard enough.
