I Make the Qin Dynasty Sweat [The Fourth Calamity]

[Upcoming: A Seaside Island Getaway, but in the Great Qin]

Qin Zhaoyue gets her hands on a full-immersion sandbox game. Although it's set in the Qin dynasty, you can build technology and railways, or cultivate immortality and wield flying swords.

There's nothing the game can't do, only things the players can't do. It's highly open-ended! And you can also draw cards to suit different players' tastes!

But what's going on?

Why does the game look like pixel art when I enter it?!

Why is my territory full of blocky people?

Wasn't I supposed to build my own territory?

And why is the person I want to marry my father?!

Why have all the characters I drew turned traitor?!

What kind of game mechanic is this?! The game must be bugged!

And most importantly, how do I log out?

A rumor has recently spread through Xianyang Palace: The eleventh princess has gone mad! Every day she runs around, digs up the ground, chops down trees, and dismantles the palace. She even declared in court that she wanted to marry His Majesty. It must be because the place is haunted!

The proof is that the kings of Qin from past generations and the prime ministers have all manifested themselves!

Note: Parallel world, not official history.

Zhaoyue will eventually regain normal vision, and then sweat bullets when she sees how different the Great Qin is. (Not really.)

Also, Zhaoyue and the First Emperor are not blood-related. Though they develop feelings for each other, she won't stay in the Qin dynasty. Time in the game passes at a different rate from real life. The romance between the two in the game has a bad ending, while outside the game, they are reincarnated and get a happy ending.
