[Character Profiles]

Ying Zheng:

In his middle age, the Qin Emperor had it all—an empire, beauties, descendants, and loyal followers.

Then one day, he suddenly gained a soft, sticky little daughter.

The little one called him "Daddy" in a milky voice, clung to him during court sessions, followed him while he reviewed memorials, demanded he braid her hair, and couldn’t do anything without him.

The mighty First Emperor was forced onto the long road of fatherhood…

Only after raising her for years and doting on her did Ying Zheng realize his little Dragon Cub’s greatest fear was him dying one day—and the Qin Dynasty collapsing with him.

Little Dragon Cub Ying Chao:

Originally a Dragon Egg from the Upper Realm, her birth father had descended to the mortal world to become emperor. As a "left-behind" egg, she hatched and went searching for him.

After several wrong attempts, she finally got it right—reborn as her father’s youngest daughter, the Little Princess of Qin.

Even after finding her dad, she remained a worrisome cub, fretting over the Qin Empire with all her tiny heart.

Eventually, she unlocked the Technology Tree and became the most famous princess in history.

And the Qin Dynasty, defying its original fate, endured—becoming the era most celebrated and cherished by the Chinese people.

Fusu:

Fusu and his Father Emperor had always been at odds, mutually displeased whenever they met. After his Little Imperial Sister was born, things only got worse.

The emperor wanted to monopolize the adorable cub, but Fusu wouldn’t stand for it.

Fusu smiled: "As the eldest brother, I am like a father—"

Ying Zheng roared: "I’m not dead yet!"

Huhai:

Huhai felt life was hopeless. Ever since his Little Imperial Sister was born, she became the emperor’s favorite, and Fusu doted on her endlessly. He, the once-undisputed troublemaker of the palace, was now utterly ignored!

At first, he tried scaring and bullying her to win back his father and brother’s affection.

But every single time, the emperor caught him red-handed—with disastrous consequences.

Notes:

1. For plot, start from the beginning; for dumplings, read after the paywall.

2. Sweet romance, logic optional—the female lead is the same person throughout.

3. Transmigration into fictional history, not traditional ancient romance—no historical nitpicking. <<less
