[Sky Screen Across the Heavens + Satisfying Historical Fiction + Emperors Change Their Fates + Learning from History]
Su Ming, a fourth-year history student, stays up late watching history videos to get over failing his graduate school entrance exam. By chance, he binds himself to the Sky Screen Across the Heavens System. The history explainer videos he plays casually are projected simultaneously across the skies of every dynasty in Chinese history.
From Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng to the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing, emperors and ministers above and ordinary people below need only look up to glimpse the rise and fall of dynasties and the fates that lie ahead.
Qin Shi Huang witnesses the Qin dynasty fall after just two generations. He purges treacherous ministers on the spot, appoints a new heir, and vows to defy fate;
Emperor Taizong of Tang sees the disasters caused by eunuchs meddling in government. He keeps the palace attendants in check, welcomes honest advice, and takes strict precautions against the collapse of his empire;
The Hongwu Emperor of Ming, having seen how harsh rule destroys a state, governs officials with an iron fist, reduces taxes and labor demands, and holds fast to the people's trust.
The emperors of each dynasty react with fury, vigilance, self-mockery, or careful planning, and one after another make changes in response to the warnings on the sky screen.
Su Ming: I just wanted to watch videos and slack off. How did I end up becoming the “heaven-sent guide” for emperors throughout history?
Emperors throughout history: If an immortal gives us a warning, then fate has a weakness. I will rewrite the destiny of this empire with my own hands!
