After the Hongwu Emperor Became Qin Shi Huang's Son

[Updated daily, at a random time for now. Thanks for bookmarking!]

Zhu Yuanzhang was reborn after his death as the son of Qin King Ying Zheng.

He opened his eyes to find himself a beggar once again. Though this prince, lost among common folk, wasn't favored by the First Emperor, and people like Lao Ai and Zhao Gao were plotting to strip him of his power, Zhu Yuanzhang had once been a cowherd who unified the land. To him:

This was nothing.

Wasn't this a heaven-born start?

*

He put down Lao Ai, defeated the Xiongnu, unified the realm, and kept the officials in line.

"Your Majesty! The Crown Prince wants to wipe out Zhao Gao's entire clan!"

"Your Majesty! The Crown Prince arrested all the ministers who dared to speak frankly!"

The First Emperor smiled in satisfaction.

That's my son, just like me.

Ying Zheng (satisfied): You have my talent!

Here's a preview of my upcoming story: Fusu, Reborn When Ying Zheng Was a Hostage

*

A father orders his son to die. How could I dare ask again?

Fusu killed himself and followed Ying Zheng.

Just as he thought his soul was about to vanish, he heard a voice.

[Documentary Filming System activated--]

[Dynasty bound: Qin]

[Person bound: Prince Fusu]

[Initial filming date: Year 52 of King Zhaoxiang's reign (255 BCE)]

[Please select your filming location: --]

Fusu froze.

After the System explained, he understood that this was something from the future. It had bound him to document famous people and events from a particular dynasty.

As a reward, he could get the chance to be reborn.

In Year 52 of King Zhaoxiang's reign, his father, Ying Zheng, was in Zhao. Ying Zheng was only five years old, hiding from place to place with Zhao Ji.

Fusu selected a location with trembling hands.

[You have selected: Handan]

[Transmitting--]

*

Ying Yiren had escaped back to Qin, leaving Ying Zheng a natural target for Zhao's anger and revenge. He and his mother, Zhao Ji, were constantly on the run to evade capture.

They had no decent clothes and barely enough to eat.

His mother, Zhao Ji, fell ill from exhaustion. Ying Zheng went out alone to gather firewood so they could survive the deadly winter.

But on this trip up the mountain, he met a young man who looked strangely familiar, and bore a striking resemblance to him.

The young man froze when he saw him, too.

Their eyes met.

Fusu (in tears): "Father!"

Ying Zheng: ?

*

[Since this is a documentary System, the story will involve traveling through various states and meeting historical figures. It's about making up for regrets and raising a child. Yes, Fusu raises his father as a child.]

[This is about two little hearts finding salvation. Fusu saves Ying Zheng's childhood, and at first he doesn't know that Zhao Gao altered the order that condemned him to death. He'll be very insecure, but also very dependent on Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng will see through it and help him resolve this knot in his heart!]

Here's a preview of my upcoming story: [Great Ming] Chongzhen, Last Emperor, with a Miniature Diorama

The emperor guards the gates of the realm; the ruler dies with his country.

Zhu Youjian hurriedly took the throne and sat upon it as the realm teetered in the storm. He worked day and night, afraid to close his eyes, wearing a worn-out dragon robe as he tried to save his country.

But heaven had other plans. Internal strife and external threats, droughts and heavy snow: the country was on the verge of collapse.

Time and again, Zhu Youjian woke in the dead of night, seeing himself hanged.

Just then, an excited eunuch came tumbling in.

"Your Majesty! A great flood has descended from heaven!!"

*

Zhu Di toyed with the miniature diorama Zheng He had brought back.

The buildings looked familiar. They were shaped like his Great Ming, but the soil was baked hard, the crops had withered, and everything looked lifeless.

Zhu Di dipped a finger in some water and put it inside.

That night, he dreamed of the Great Ming a hundred years in the future.

Zhu Di: ??

Zhu Youjian: !!

Here's a preview of my upcoming story: The Chancellor of Qin, with a Divination System

Lü Buwei had made a huge deal. Once it was done, he would no longer be a despised merchant, but would enter the halls of power.

During the siege of Handan, Lü Buwei decided to flee with Ying Yiren under cover of night so he could help him escape. Unable to save everyone, he left Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng behind in Zhao.

Just as he made this decision, a voice appeared in his mind:

[Great misfortune]

[Fire above water, impossible to reconcile]

Lü Buwei froze. He tentatively considered another plan: risk taking Ying Zheng with them.

[Great fortune]

*

The hostage sent to Zhao had returned, and he had brought a child named Ying Zheng with him.

Countless people in Qin wanted them dead.

Risking his life and making plans at every turn, Lü Buwei spent his entire fortune securing the position of crown prince for Ying Yiren.

After Ying Yiren ascended the throne, he defied all opposition and appointed Lü Buwei Chancellor of Qin.

*

Lately, Lü Buwei had noticed that the divinations kept predicting great misfortune. After investigating for a long time, he finally realized the problem was Ying Yiren.

Ying Yiren grew uneasy under his stare. "Chancellor... What's wrong with me?"

Lü Buwei thought for a moment, then answered seriously, "Your Majesty, take care of your health."

Promise me you'll live a few more years, all right?

Here's a recommendation for my pen pal Qiu Yueqiu Ri's Hades Kidnapped the Wrong Person [Greek Mythology]

Xia Mi woke up one day and found himself transported from home to the wilderness.

Before he could do anything, a chariot burst out of a fissure in the earth and carried him off.

By the time Xia Mi came to his senses, he'd been forced into marriage.

His new husband was named Hades.

Married life was dull.

After all, his husband was a cold-faced workaholic.

With nothing else to do, Xia Mi planted flowers, tended the garden, and listened to gossip, bringing a little shock from the world above to the gloomy underworld.

Until his new husband wanted to share his bed.

But he's straight?!

Xia Mi decided to run away.

Hades took out a pomegranate and said that if Xia Mi ate it, he would let him go.

Xia Mi ate it.

Hades pulled him into his arms.

I'm sorry, I lied. I can't bear to lose you.

Hades asked the god of sleep to grant them a beautiful dream.

He and his beloved Xia Mi would never part.
