Name: What? My Ancestor Is Spying on Me While I Watch Videos
Author: The Plump Butterfly

Synopsis

[Historical Rankings] + [Blood-Pressure-Raising Comparison Screens] + [Workaholic Heroine] + [No CP]

Su Wenya is an utterly ordinary unemployed young woman who accidentally binds herself to a video-watching System.

From then on, her life is turned upside down, and the history of parallel worlds takes a dramatic turn!

A thunderous voice rings across the sky:

“Fly freely, right into your heart...”

The aunties in the square dance like there’s no tomorrow.

“When it’s dark, it’s easy to make mistakes. The roof is going up in flames!”

A man in clothes reaches out and pulls them off, revealing a body packed with muscle.

The ancestors stare in shock. The scene shifts:

Zhuge Liang lies in a hospital bed, holding Li Shimin’s hand. “Your useless subject asks: where has Your Majesty gone?”

What?

Su Wenya: Wrong one. Let’s start over!

The First Emperor, Ying Zheng: “Unifying the Six Kingdoms: a crime for the present, a merit for the ages? What’s wrong with giving me an elixir of immortality?”

The Second Emperor, Li Shimin: “Able to govern the country with the pen and pacify it with the sword, a great ruler of the world. If only I could possess Liu Shan’s body!”

The Third Boar, Liu Che: “Wherever my sword points is Han territory! What a mighty Martial Emperor I am!”

The ancestors smile, their lips curling upward. They feel a little embarrassed by how lavishly their descendants praise them.

*

He killed three sons in one day, seized his daughter-in-law, and got 300,000 soldiers killed. Was that really how the Tang Dynasty fell?!

Using his concubines to pay off debts, father and son taken prisoner: the Song Dynasty, the most spineless dynasty of all, fell!

Cruel and merciless, calling a deer a horse: the Qin Dynasty lasted only two generations!

As they keep watching, the ancestors’ veins bulge, their hands shake and their heads spin. Even the lids of their coffins can’t hold them down!

Forget it. This bunch of worthless descendants is beyond saving. I’ll take the field myself!

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.
