My Modern Life Livestream Shocks Five Thousand Years of Chinese History

Liu Qingzhi, a 36-year-old professor of international relations and a well-groomed woman who has chosen not to marry, wakes up on an ordinary weekend to discover that she's been selected by a higher civilization as a “Civilization Observer.” Her daily life will be broadcast in real time through a livestream System to parallel worlds corresponding to every dynasty in Chinese history. From Qin Shi Huang to Emperor Wu of Han, from Emperor Taizong of Tang to Emperor Chengzu of Ming, countless people in parallel worlds suddenly gain watch-like projection devices that let them see the lives of their future descendants. They watch this independent, confident woman live in a bright, open-plan apartment, drive a “steed” that needs no horses, and discuss international affairs beyond their imagination. At first, Liu Qingzhi only wants to enjoy her own quiet life. But when she realizes that every choice she makes and every bit of knowledge she shares could change the heartbreaking regrets of the past, she takes the initiative. She studies the history of each dynasty and carefully chooses what to show in her broadcasts: from papermaking and cement production to modern agriculture and medicine, from the September 3 military parade and diplomacy between great powers to a century of humiliation and the rise of a great nation. Qin Shi Huang watches the tide of iron cavalry and falls into deep thought. Emperor Wu of Han watches Huo Qubing die young and weeps. Li Shimin watches a replay of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, his expression conflicted. Zhu Di learns the lasting impact of Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas and lets out a long, silent sigh... What Liu Qingzhi doesn't know is that beyond her world, a revolution accelerating civilization, sparked by her livestream, is quietly unfolding across the parallel worlds of every dynasty. Her everyday life has become the key to changing the fate of five thousand years of Chinese civilization.
