Synopsis

Zhang Mingde is an ordinary retired uncle in Shanghai. Every day, he enjoys collecting rent, taking walks, picking up his granddaughter Yueyue, and catching up on short dramas. Then, one day, a [Myriad Worlds Sky Screen Livestream System] silently bound itself to him.

Zhang was completely unaware. A pop-up on his phone? It must be malware! He went right on enjoying his tea, shopping at the market, and playing mahjong with the old neighbors.

What he didn’t know was that everything he did, from scanning a QR code to pay for groceries and listening to Yueyue recite classical poems, to the smart TV flickering in his home and the odd comments he made about short dramas, was being broadcast in real time to countless people of the past through the sky screen suspended above the ancient dynasties.

Qin Shi Huang pondered the dazzling array of goods in a supermarket. Li Shimin repeatedly studied how residents sorted their trash. Zhu Yuanzhang lay awake at night after witnessing the retirement of an ordinary old man...

Zhang Mingde carried on with his quiet life, unaware that every ordinary day of his was stirring up one earth-shaking revelation after another in a distant era.

Sky Screen Stories These Days All Seem to Have a Sense of Superiority

How should I put it? The plots are all the same old stuff. Please recommend a good sky screen novel with no romance and no brainless characters. Ideally, the protagonist should be male. Don’t blindly praise any particular person, criticize ancient times using modern values, or act superior.

Stories About Livestreaming Modern Peace and Prosperity to Pioneers From the Recent Past

I’m looking for stories where people livestream the peaceful, prosperous lives of the present day to heroes from the modern era, not people from ancient times. So many stories only feature ancient figures. Having both ancient and modern figures is fine, too. Please, I’ve been desperate to read something like this, but haven’t been able to find any!
