I Livestream to All Dynasties on the Sky Screen, and Ying Zheng Wants to Buy Sweet Potato Seedlings

After Lu Feng is in a car accident, he binds himself to a Time-and-Space Sharing System. He watches short videos in the modern era, while the skies of every dynasty broadcast them live.

When a food vlogger’s video comes on, Emperor Qin Shi Huang stares at a screen full of steamed buns and spicy soup, questioning his life: Do immortals in later generations eat this well every day? A video claims Confucius was two meters tall and could carry a city gate, leaving Confucian disciples speechless as three thousand students stay up all night training their bodies. A video shows Huo Qubing winning glory at Wolf Mountain at eighteen, and Liu Che and Wei Qing are already poring over maps in the palace. When they see that Qinghai’s salt lakes hold enough salt to feed the whole country for thirty thousand years, the emperors of every dynasty turn red-eyed.

Most absurd of all, the ancients discover they can place orders directly through links on the sky screen. Corn, sweet potato, and potato seeds sell out in seconds; mirrors, glassware, and books on craftsmanship are snapped up until nothing is left. One streamer finishes calling out the countdown, looks up, and finds the shelves empty. “Wait, where did all my stock go?”

A high-priority private message pops up in the sky screen’s comments. Sender: Ying Zheng. Message: “Do you offer free shipping on sweet potato seedlings? I’ll trade Xu Fu.”
