Qiao Jiangchu was a well-known feng shui master in Lingnan. She could read fortunes and calculate the future, had a modest fortune, and lived a very comfortable life. Then she transmigrated to the end of the Eastern Han dynasty and became the daughter of Qiao Rui, known as Little Qiao. Jiangchu: “.” Good heavens, it’s a time of chaos. Please don’t drag me into this! It was the sixth year of Zhongping. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were studying in Shouchun, and Qiao Rui admired them, so he invited them to stay at his home for a while. They were staying right next to Jiangchu’s courtyard. Jiangchu: “!” What a coincidence! But they were powerful allies, and she needed to get on their good side. So, taking advantage of her young age, she did everything she could to charm these two future founders of the Eastern Wu regime. She acted sweet and obedient, and showered them with flattery without a second thought. Jiangchu wondered to herself: Surely they’ll think of me as a dear little sister now? Sun Ce smiled at her and said, “Are young girls nowadays already looking for husbands so early?” Jiangchu: “???” She was so angry she burst into tears. “Not a chance! I’d never marry either of you!” Zhou Yu rubbed her little head and comforted her. “He’s just teasing you.” * A few years later, Jiangchu lost her father and uncle in the turmoil of war, and she also lost contact with Ce and Yu. With no one to protect her, she had no choice but to fall back on her old trade, swindling various warlords to make a living. She took her family from place to place, and eventually, just as fate had ordained, she ended up in Wan County and sought refuge with Liu Xun, the governor of Lujiang. After working in this line of business for so long, Jiangchu knew that fate was hard to change. It worried her so much that she could barely believe it would work out. Before long, just as expected, Wan County was captured by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Countless people died on that starless night, and the city was filled with the sickening stench of blood. Jiangchu huddled in a corner, trembling as she tried to figure out how to win them over again and get them to spare her. Then a scorching hand forced her chin up. Through tear-blurred eyes, she saw Sun Ce looking at her coldly. “If you want to live, choose one of us to marry: me or Gongjin.” Zhou Yu was also angry that she had cast aside their childhood friendship and severed contact without a word. He smiled faintly, intimidating her. “Choose.” Jiangchu: “!!!” Can I refuse? Didn’t you say you were only teasing me back then?! * Jiangchu had no idea she had unintentionally flirted with them. She only knew that the men she regarded as older brothers had begun looking at her strangely, so when they fell out with her uncle Yuan Shu, she took the opportunity to cut ties with them too. Later, when someone held her slender wrist and rubbed it, and a scorching arm clutched her slender waist, she began to regret it. Why had she tried to cozy up to powerful men? Now they were after her! Reading guide: The plot and romance share equal focus. There is no romance before she comes of age, but many men will later fall for her one-sidedly.

She seemed timid and weak, but in truth she never let an offense go unpunished. When she first transmigrated to Qin, she had no one to rely on. People treated her as an object to use to curry favor with the king, drugged her, and sent her to the King of Qin’s bed. She hated them for it. After all, the ruler of Qin was Ying Zheng, the future conqueror of the Six Kingdoms, an emperor for the ages! Plotting against him was practically asking to die! That night, the young king returned to Qinian Palace after drinking. Seeing Gu Mi on the couch, wearing nothing but a silk undergarment, he flew into a rage at being manipulated and raised his sword to kill her. Gu Mi was truly afraid the tyrant would kill her with a single stroke. She immediately threw herself at him, clutching his clothes and weeping. “Your Majesty, please don’t kill me! I can be useful to you!” Ying Zheng glanced at the hair sliced off by his blade and replied dismissively, “Oh? Let’s hear it.” She dared not hold back. “I can make salt. Mine is as white as snow and no longer bitter. I can fire bricks that are waterproof, damp-proof, and more durable. I can also improve farm tools, brew wine, make paper… I’m very useful.” Ying Zheng was a little tempted, though he teased her aloud. “You do sound somewhat useful. But if you really have so much to offer, why did they only see your face?” Gu Mi looked bewildered. “They never gave me a chance to tell them.” Ying Zheng: “…” Seeing that his murderous intent had faded, Gu Mi dared to ask, “If Your Majesty thinks I might be useful, could you please remove the drug from my system first?” …Drug? What drug? He gave her a sidelong glance. “Do you want to die?” Afterward, Gu Mi remained at Qinian Palace openly, under the title of a consort of the King of Qin. She was on tenterhooks as she acted obedient and tried to get by at the side of the future First Emperor, while secretly sharpening her knives to take on her enemies and figuring out how to get home. Later, Qin won the hearts of the people of the Six Kingdoms with abundant harvests and expanded its realm for generations to come with roads and carriages. It annexed the southern frontier, drove back the Xiongnu, and made its power known throughout the world. When envoys from every land came to pay tribute, the First Emperor had been on the throne for only a few years, and he had revealed just a fraction of his grand ambitions and extraordinary abilities. Thanks to her impressive skills, Gu Mi also became the apple of the king’s eye, reaching a position second only to him, above countless others: The Outcast. The First Emperor’s methods grew increasingly ruthless as his authority and presence grew. Gu Mi served him with ever greater caution, and her longing to return home grew stronger by the day. It was an utterly ordinary rainy night when Ying Zheng’s growing suspicions finally exposed Gu Mi as a transmigrator. Even more alarming to him was learning that she had been trying to figure out how to return home. Oh, so she wanted to run? A bolt of lightning illuminated the ruler’s cold face. He picked up the completely unsuspecting Gu Mi and flung her onto the bed, then leaned over her and smiled coldly. “What else have you been hiding from me, my lady?” Gu Mi curled up, furrowing her brow as she racked her brains for a long while. She had even drawn him a map of the world, after all. Finally, she said with a wounded pout, “I don’t have an elixir of immortality.” Ying Zheng: “…” This cold-hearted woman! Who was asking about that? Reading guide: She transmigrates with her body; one man and one woman, both each other’s first and only partner. . Theme: Do good deeds, and don’t worry about what the future holds
