The First Emperor's Little Adopted Empress

When Banban transmigrated into ancient times, her family was wealthy, and her parents were still alive. Living a joyful life, doted on by her parents, she was happy every day.

One night, her aunt, who had already married, returned home in the pouring rain, accompanied by her gloomy and cold-eyed cousin. It turned out her aunt's husband had fled, abandoning his wife and child. The mother and son had no choice but to stay at the Ji family residence.

Her cousin spoke little but was diligent and eager to learn, practicing martial arts and studying late into the night. Banban was also reluctantly pushed into learning needlework and dance, working herself to exhaustion. Because of this, she grew to dislike her cousin, often playing tricks on him, but he would only glance at her without saying a word.

Then one day, people from the Qin state arrived, stating that her aunt's runaway husband was about to be made the Crown Prince of Qin, and might inherit the throne in the future. Banban's cousin was his legitimate son, of extraordinary status, and the mother and son needed to depart for Qin immediately.

Banban was stunned: "What? Wait, Qin state! My cousin's given name is Zheng, could he be...???"

As Ying Zheng was about to leave Zhao state, the escorts respectfully asked if there was anything else he wished to bring. The young man calmly pointed to the timid little girl, "I want her."
