Synopsis

[No romance, true to history, ensemble cast, historical figures]

As a newly hired livestream shopping host, Hou Jin decided to take an unconventional approach.

First, she livestreamed a lesson on the history of rice. Then she explained how low crop yields in every dynasty meant people were often left hungry. She brought up the great famine of the Ming dynasty: “In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, there were disasters year after year.” Then she abruptly changed tack and shouted at the top of her lungs:

“Dear viewers, with this superior variety, a yield of a thousand jin per mu in ancient times would be no dream!

“Our ancestors could no longer buy it, but we can! You won’t lose out, and you won’t be cheated! Even if you just buy it to keep at home, it’ll make you look great!”

Zhu Yuanzhang’s face turned pale with shock. “Seventeen years!? Disasters year after year? Does Heaven mean to destroy my Ming dynasty!?”

Qin Shi Huang: “A yield of fifteen hundred jin per mu?”

Wu Zetian: “What is this woman saying? Buy it to keep at home? How can such an excellent variety be left to gather dust?”

The emperors of the other dynasties also clicked the purchase button before them without hesitation. “Heaven is blessing our Han/Jin/Song/Yuan/Ming/Qing!”

Coming up: What are history’s regrets?

The fall of Qin under its second emperor?

The many dynasties that fell because they were weak, while the Han alone fell despite its strength?

The Three Kingdoms’ sixty years of division, only for Sima to seize power and throw the government into chaos?

The political turmoil of the Two Jin dynasties and the division into the Sixteen Kingdoms?

Or...?

The emperors of every dynasty had just raised their cups to celebrate the divine gift of superior seeds when, in the next instant, they roared with fury: “Why did our dynasty fall!?”

Hou Jin’s livestreams ranged from the late Ming dynasty to the handsome heroes of the Three Kingdoms, the Sui dynasty that fell under its second emperor, the flourishing Tang dynasty, the poet Li Bai, the Sage of Poetry Du Fu, the empress Wu Zetian, and more...

Any Watch-Along Fics Where They Just Watch the Sky Screen Without Interacting?

I don't want to see the protagonist interact with historical figures. I only want the sky screen, with people from the past learning useful things or knowledge from it, so they can help the people and prevent regrets from happening. They shouldn't be given things directly, either. They should make gradual, practical progress.

Are There Really No Historical Livestream Stories Worth Reading?

I like stories about livestreaming to historical figures, but I don't like it when the streamer knows who the viewers are. If it's purely about history, the protagonist needs to have a central argument of their own, enough to get some views in Bilibili's knowledge section, rather than simply retelling stories. The reaction should logically show the emperor...

I'd like to read books similar to From the Start, Livestreaming the Terracotta Warriors to Qin Shi Huang. Something with a fresher premise, please. I don't want another listicle about dragons, phoenixes, and pigs. I've read so many of those that I could recite all the stories by heart. I'd also like something that's well-researched and doesn't distort history. I can't really put up with that, like on JJ.

It's not bad; it's the kind of story you can read in your spare time. Personally, I've read a lot of these kinds of stories, so I'm pretty familiar with the historical figures and events mentioned by the main characters.

Could you please remove the goddess figure? It's already been clearly stated that she's from a later era.

Please feel free to point out any issues or suggest fixes while reading. I will correct them as soon as I see them. The text within [] is based on official historical records; the text outside [] is based on official historical records for 10/3 of the time; and the remaining dialogue characters are written as accurately as possible according to their personalities. Happy reading!

If Fusu cannot be reformed, it is suggested that His Majesty the First Emperor cultivate Qin Ziying, since Qin Ziying is more like Qin Shi Huang than Fusu. After all, Fusu is not a qualified heir to the throne, but rather a staunch supporter of Confucianism.

Overall, it's not bad, considering it's just a novel. However, it keeps triggering my triggers [heavy punch], so I don't want to continue reading. 🤦

The writing is alright. Maybe I've read too many of these kinds of stories, so it feels a bit similar and somewhat bland. But creating stories is not easy, so it's still worth reading. It's good that it can help our ancestors. 😄😄😄

It was quite good, why did it end so quickly? There was so much more to write! It's about letting the ancients see the technological age, letting the common people stop living in ignorance, and changing the way of heaven that suppresses our country's development.

Many classical Chinese quotations are often lengthy and can be off-putting. They may also show emotional bias towards certain topics, abruptly ending the discussion, but overall they retain a degree of readability.

Keep up the good work, author! Of all the review books, this is probably the one I can most easily keep reading.
