Ying Ye had just finished arguing with someone online. The other person told him that if he had what it took, he should go to the Qin dynasty and build the Great Wall.
To his surprise, when he opened his eyes again, he really was in the Qin dynasty.
The good news: He was a child, so he probably wouldn't have to build the Great Wall.
The bad news: His older brother seemed to be the infamous Qin Er Shi, Hu Hai.
Ying Ye decided to strike first and kill Hu Hai.
As long as Hu Hai didn't take the throne, Ying Ye could look forward to living high on the hog alongside Fusu.
But before he could figure out how to kill Hu Hai...
he had to find a way to max out his favorability with Qin Shi Huang and Fusu.
And Ying Ye's method for winning them over was...
Cooking.
He made dish after dish for Ying Zheng and Fusu.
Steamed buns, rice noodles, dumplings, hotpot, grilled meat... he served them all in turn.
He was determined to make his royal father and older brother the happiest people in all of Qin!
Ying Zheng thought his youngest son had been acting strangely lately.
He used to go two or three days without seeing the boy, but now his youngest was constantly at his side.
He fussed over him, massaged his shoulders, and often brought him food.
Ying Zheng wasn't particularly interested in food, and he'd never seen the strange dishes his son kept making.
But... they really smelled delicious.
Ying Zheng happily enjoyed his son's thoughtful attention.
He decided that raising children did have its benefits.
After a while, Ying Ye decided the time was right and revealed his true intentions.
He wanted to kill Xu Fu, Zhao Gao, and even his brother Hu Hai.
Ying Zheng: ?
Was his youngest son the real bloodthirsty maniac?
Ying Zheng also discovered that Ying Ye was even sweeter with Fusu than he was with his father.
And the food he brought every day always came in two portions, with Fusu's seeming a little bigger!
Ying Ye: Father, you don't understand. Big Brother is still growing.
Ying Ye failed to keep things fair, and his scheme backfired.
On the third day without seeing his little brother, Fusu even got a glare from his own father.
Fusu: ? I haven't done anything wrong lately.
After his scheme backfired, Ying Ye calmly brought out superior crops, waterwheels, porcelain, livestock, and more.
The already strong bond between father and son grew even stronger.
Ying Zheng: So what if he kills a few people? My son is so upright, he'd never kill an innocent person. Son, whose household do you want to wipe out today?
Hu Hai: Father! Wake up! He's trying to kill me!!!
Most likely, this is a child-rearing story.
While the old father raises the child, the child also takes care of the old father.
Together, they build a harmonious and beautiful Qin.
