Zi Yuan, a brilliant history student at modern-day Jiqiu University, transmigrates to the Spring and Autumn period and becomes a low-ranking official in the Zhou royal archives. An ancient bronze mirror inscribed with “Geng Chen, Ren Shen” lets him livestream and interact with viewers from later generations.
When King Zhuang of Chu stations his troops by the Luo River and demands the Central Plains, Zi Yuan’s livestream is suddenly pushed to the screens of the Chu court:
“Streamer, teach the King of Chu to answer, ‘When virtue is flourishing, even something small can be weighty!’”
“Don’t listen to them! He should say, ‘Heaven’s mandate lies with Chu, and the Nine Cauldrons belong here!’”
With the comments flooding in with advice, Zi Yuan is forced into the crisis over the Nine Cauldrons:
He uses data to analyze the rival states, relies on the comments to anticipate Jin’s schemes, and even livestreams a different outcome for the Battle of Bi...
From the banks of the Luo to the heights of the capital Ying, watch modern thinking collide with the historical events recorded in the Zuo Zhuan.
In this world, what holds the truth: the inscriptions on bronze cauldrons, or the numbers flashing in the livestream?
