The First Emperor’s Little Empress

Banban womb-transmigrated into ancient times. Her family was wealthy, and with both parents by her side, she could enjoy a comfortable life under their care. Every day was filled with happiness. Late one night, her married aunt returned home in the rain. Accompanying her was Banban’s cousin, a boy with a gloomy and cold expression. It turned out the aunt’s husband had fled, abandoning his wife and son. With nowhere else to go, the mother and son took up residence in the Ji family household. Her cousin was a boy of few words, but he was diligent and eager to learn, practicing martial arts with great effort until late every night. Because of him, Banban was also pushed to excel, forced to learn needlework and dance until she was half-dead from exhaustion. Consequently, she grew to loathe this cousin and played pranks on him at every opportunity. Each time, however, he would only give her a single look and say nothing. Then one day, people arrived from the State of Qin. They revealed that the aunt’s runaway husband was about to be invested as the Crown Prince of Qin and might one day inherit the throne. As his legitimate son, Banban’s cousin held a prestigious status, and the mother and son were to depart for Qin immediately. Banban was stunned. What? Wait, the State of Qin! Her cousin’s name is Ying Zheng… Could he be…?? As Ying Zheng was about to depart from the State of Zhao, his escort respectfully asked if there was anything else he wished to take with him. The youth calmly pointed at the trembling young girl: “I want her.”
