What Do I Do When the King of Qin Buries Me from the Start?

#My upcoming novel, She Left Him After He Married Her by Force and Seized Her, is being drafted. Please add it to your collection.

A fierce, high-spirited county princess with incredible martial prowess VS a reserved, self-controlled, aloof top scholar

Xu Jinyu jumped into a river to save someone, but unexpectedly transmigrated to the Great Qin era and became a young female doctor who had lost both parents and died after falling off a cliff while trying to save someone.

After digging herself out of her grave with great difficulty, she saw the blood-red words on her tombstone and nearly lost it.

It turned out the person the original owner had saved was the future King of Qin, and she seemed to have been his beloved first love.

From the start, she'd been buried by the future King of Qin. What was she supposed to do? Asking for help online, and in a hurry...

Cling to Ying Si? As the crown prince, he was currently in exile.

Pretend to be his first love? His officially destined partner was famous throughout the land.

This new Xu Jinyu, with a different soul inside, had better rely on herself and work hard.

Although things were hard from the start, she was not only seriously injured, but also facing a career crisis as a graduate student in archaeology: there was nothing ancient left to study.

But heaven never shuts every door. She had a golden finger!

In modern times, she had hyperthymesia and had memorized more than half the books in a library.

Knowledge is power. She could find a new career in the pre-Qin era!

She would compile medical texts, establish medical schools, found a medical bureau, promote Chinese medicine, spread martial arts, and research weapons.

Before long, the greatest swordsman wanted to become her apprentice, and the Great Qin strategist Chuli Ji wanted to marry her.

As for her, she had actually fallen for him long ago.

Who wouldn't be moved by the decisive, resourceful, spirited young Lord of Qin?

Who could resist a handsome younger man with a stunning face, an incredible body, and a mix of wolfishness and sweetness confessing his love?

But when she thought about the gap between their status, she decided she still had to work harder!

--

On a rainy noon, Chuli Ji happened upon Xu Jinyu, who had come down from the mountaintop.

She seemed to bring sunlight with her, sweeping away the gloom that had settled over him.

She looked delicate, but was strong-willed inside. Though her background was tragic, her eyes always shone brightly.

She was so dazzling, so full of life, that he couldn't help drawing closer. He wanted even more to treasure and protect her.

But the road to winning her heart always seemed to hit a few snags.

She had clearly promised to stay by his side for the rest of their lives. Why did she want to break up with him?

And what was all that about getting promoted and a raise, reaching the pinnacle of life, and then "marrying" a rich, handsome man?

Just as they were about to get back together, Crown Prince Ying Si showed up to interfere, giving her jade and courting her favor.

He had finally managed to get things under control and secure the ruler's approval for their marriage. Why did it seem like his wife was about to run away?

Absolutely not!

Even if he had to "tie her up," he would make her stay!

What? She said she had transmigrated here?

So what? Everyone had secrets. He still loved her!

Reader's Guide:

1. Please don't read this for historical accuracy.

2. The "old-world charm" tag means that the story is set in a real historical dynasty. This is not a court-politics historical novel.

3. A sweet, semi-fictionalized story. The dialogue includes modern expressions, and the leads pursue careers and fall in love.

4. Many characters and events are fictionalized for the sake of the plot.

Blurb:

Li Lingying, daughter of Prince Dun, was made a county princess at birth. Everyone knew her as an arrogant, unruly, and violent troublemaker. She spent her days eating, drinking, and having fun, or getting into fights and causing trouble. The court never stopped submitting memorials to impeach her.

But she was of such noble birth and so beloved by the Empress Dowager that all those memorials came to nothing.

Then, after the spring examinations and the Qionglin Banquet, this young county princess abducted the newly appointed top scholar right off the street and took him home, declaring that he would be her husband.

When they heard the news, the civil and military officials hurried to submit memorials against her. Surely this was serious enough? She'd seized a handsome man in broad daylight and snatched away the husband the Minister of War had chosen for his daughter.

But the emperor simply waved his brush and decreed a marriage!

Everyone lamented: Poor Xie Qinghuai, who was handsome and talented enough to earn the top honor in all three imperial examinations. His life was going to be ruined!

But just after their wedding night, word spread from the Xie residence that the couple had spent the night in separate rooms.

What, had the county princess already lost interest?

Or had Scholar Xie had enough of her?

But with the emperor having decreed their marriage, divorce wouldn't be easy.

The Xie residence was in for a storm!

So, over tea and after dinner, everyone loved gossiping and watching the drama, placing bets on when the two would divorce.

But year after year passed. Xie Qinghuai kept climbing the ranks, while the county princess grew even more brazen. The two even seemed to be becoming a devoted couple.

Gossiping colleagues: ...

Lord Xie, if you're being abused at home, just blink. We'll impeach her. You don't have to put up with this!

Xie Qinghuai: ?

I think you just want me to go home and sleep alone tonight!
