Just a moment ago, Zhao Mingxuan was arguing with someone about whether replacing Qin Er Shi could save the Great Qin. The next moment, she transmigrated into Zhao Hua, a princess of Zhao sent to marry into the Great Qin.
The customs were unfamiliar, and she didn't know the etiquette. She thought she would have to lie low and quietly build her position, but as soon as she entered the Qin palace, she was made a Lady of the harem, second only to the queen, and given a palace right beside Qin Shi Huang's bedchamber.
Since Qin Shi Huang ignored everyone equally, the harem had been peaceful and free of conflict. Now, it was thrown into turmoil once more.
But before the beauties could bring their palace intrigues to her, Qin Shi Huang had already dealt with them.
Zhao Mingxuan looked puzzled.
Then Zhao Mingxuan suddenly understood.
Eliminate everything impossible, and whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth!
Qin Shi Huang had fallen in love with her at first sight!
She knew it. How could a noble transmigrated heroine like her not have a golden finger?

Later, Zhao Mingxuan buried herself in official documents. She had to oversee technological innovation and improve crop varieties, as well as revise Qin law and textbooks, and occasionally take on the Confucians and Legalists.
Working 996 was the norm, and 007 shifts were common too.

Ying Zheng's Perspective
Ying Zheng was bound to a System called "Prevent the Qin Dynasty from Dying in Its Second Generation." When he fell asleep, he could see snippets of events in parallel worlds.
Parallel World One:
[Qin Shi Huang dies in Xingtai Shaqiu during his eastern tour, his corpse covered with rotten fish.]
Ying Zheng's hand trembled slightly. His corpse covered with rotten fish?
Zhao Gao, Li Si, you're finished.
[Qin Shi Huang's other children suffer brutal deaths at Hu Hai's hands. They are beheaded, poisoned, and even dismembered.]
Ying Zheng jolted awake.
He wanted to have the unborn Hu Hai cut into a thousand pieces.
The Great Qin of countless parallel worlds met with horrific bad endings. Only in one timeline did the dynasty survive.
The one who brought about this precious happy ending was a woman in palace attire.
In 235 BCE, a Zhao princess entered Qin in splendid attire. Her black robes were intricately adorned, jewels covered her hair, and every smile and glance brimmed with affection.
Ying Zheng narrowed his phoenix eyes. At last, I've found you.
My best tool.
Content Warnings
1. This is only a parallel world. My knowledge of the pre-Qin era isn't that deep, so there will certainly be many inaccuracies. Readers who care about historical accuracy should steer clear.
2. Qin Shi Huang's love is his country. He never loves the heroine, not even for a moment, and he won't remain chaste for her. But he gives her a platform to put her talents to use.
3. The heroine is very idealized, and her golden finger is extremely powerful.
4. King Zheng of Qin can only dream of snippets from parallel worlds. He can't hear anything.
5. To be decided.
