Born in the Great Qin, Hailed as a Natural Sage from the Start

(Comedic and easygoing in the early stages, ruthless and cold-blooded later on) Ying Ye opened his eyes and became the five-year-old prince of the Great Qin Empire. The good news: his reincarnation was a perfect success, and even if he chose to lie flat, someone would still feed him. The bad news: he had to start school at five. School? Impossible. Absolutely impossible in this lifetime. On his first day of school, he angered his teacher, left the Imperial Academy’s superintendent speechless, and asked the Imperial Tutor in front of the entire court, “How many characters are there in the Analects?” The whole of Xianyang exploded: the Second Prince was a natural sage, born with innate knowledge! Ying Ye rolled his eyes: I just have a better memory, plus I’ve lived one extra lifetime. Stop adding drama to my story. All he wanted was to become an idle prince and occasionally sneak out of the palace for a good meal. Yet some people refused to believe that he had no desire to become emperor. Great scholars gathered around him, spoiled young masters chased him with knives, and even the greedy young maid at his side seemed to be hiding an earth-shattering secret. When he was forced to kneel in the street and watched with his own eyes as his guards had both legs broken, Ying Ye finally understood: in this world, intelligence alone was not enough. This is a story about growing up, about how someone who wanted to be a salted fish was forced to become a legend.
