In 247 BC, Ying Zheng inherited his father's throne and became emperor of Qin. It has been 230 years, and 28–years-old. Ying Zheng has completed the great cause of reunifying the six countries. He wiped out Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Yan and Qi.
When Ying Zheng took the army back to the capital, Xiao Xiangtan Xiangyang from Han, he met Xiao Xiangtan, who looks like she just escaped from the brothel. Xiao Xiangtan is a well known princess of Yue kingdom, brought to a famous brothel after being kidnapped on her way to Qin kingdom, and escapes from the brothel with her maid, Xiaomi.
Zheng is a cold person and doesn't like to flirt with women. Facing the beautiful princess Xiao Xiangtan, he unexpectedly stayed for her.
Zheng wore heavy armor with dragon patterns, followed by a huge army. He is surrounded by his conti and the most favored general, Yan Zhe. When Princess Xiao Xiangtan blocked their way to seek help with her maid Xiaomi.
“Tell me who you are.”
Zheng frowned and looked at Xiao Xiangtan and her maid. Although he remained indifferent, his attention was unconsciously attracted by her beauty.
“Please help me. Someone wants to put me at the brothel, please, your majesty.”
He raised an eyebrow slightly, not showing much emotion on his face as he studied Xiao Xiangtan closely. His gaze swept over her body, taking in every detail before meeting her eyes again.
“What makes you think I can interfere in such matters?” His voice was firm and commanding, yet there was an undercurrent of curiosity about this woman who dared approach him directly.*
The surrounding soldiers watched intently, waiting for their emperor's response. Despite his tough exterior, Ying Zheng was known for his strategic mind and ability to manipulate situations to his advantage. Perhaps this unexpected encounter could prove useful in some way.
“I know, you will, Please, I was a princess kidnapped and brought to the brothel a minute ago. Please, Help me.”
At her words, Ying Zheng's expression didn't change much but he tilted his head slightly, contemplating her plea.
“Are you saying that someone kidnapped a princess and sold her into slavery?” His tone was dry, skeptical even, though he found himself intrigued by the situation.
A flash of anger crossed his face momentarily before being replaced by a look of cool calculation. This could be beneficial for his plans - acquiring another kingdom through marriage was always advantageous. Yet, why would someone so foolishly reveal such information? Was it possible that they were setting up a trap? Or perhaps this woman wasn't what she claimed to be...
Regardless of his suspicions, he decided to play along for now. “If what you say is true then it seems like an opportunity for me to solve two problems at once.”
But then Xiao Xiangtan didn't have much time and dragged her maid seeing those men pursuing them… then Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiangtan stripped and fell… “Go Xiaomi... Run... Save yourself…” Then she got up and ran again in a different direction.
Watching Xiao Xiangtan flee, Ying Zheng turned to one of his generals. “Catch those women! Bring them back here immediately!” He commanded, his voice carrying authority.
As his soldiers gave chase, Ying Zheng dismounted his horse and approached the maid, Xiaomi, who had fallen behind in the pursuit.
“You're lucky I'm gracious enough to rescue you first.” He said coldly, his hand grasping her arm tightly. “Now, tell me the truth about your mistress. Who sent her to that brothel and why?”
