The first Emperor Chin and his household die from the Ivory Plague. The emperor's young grandson survives, as does the emperors sister. She masquerades as the emperor, aided in this ruse by the bureaucracy and various good spirits until the grandson is old enough rule. The emperor's sister then reveals her true identity and flees the city, never to be seen again. Her rule now recognized as that of the second Emperor Chin, and her grand nephew. the third Emperor Chin of the Hai dynasty. From this time on, if no male heirs are of age, it is custom for an able female heir to rule until a male heir comes of age. The ruler is referred to as emperor, regardless sex.
