The Two-Sided Sky Screen: Dynasties Throughout History Break Down in Tears!

I couldn't find any sky-screen novels I liked, so I decided to write one myself. Read if you want, and leave if you don't. Please be kind in the comments.

This isn't history. It's just a sky-screen story mixed with an alternate history, made up from start to finish and unrelated to official history. Just enjoy the ride.

[The entire story is set in a completely parallel, fictional world. All characters, dynasties, and history are original inventions, unrelated to official history or real historical figures.]

If anything seems familiar, may lightning strike me! It's got nothing to do with me!

An eternal sky screen appears out of nowhere, revealing two parallel futures that shine across past and present!

In one, Qin Shi Huang unifies China, and the foundations of a unified empire are passed down through the generations. Tempered by countless trials, it survives the catastrophe of the Five Barbarians' uprisings and the desperate ruin of a shattered realm, fights a bloody war against the invaders, and ultimately rises to prosperity, with skyscrapers filling the land and the nation flourishing for generations to come.

In the other, Xiang Yu overthrows the Great Qin and enfeoffs eighteen lords. Division becomes the fate of a chaotic age, China's borders are repeatedly carved apart, and later generations splinter into dozens or even hundreds of small kingdoms, each leaderless and fighting on its own.

Emperors and officials of every dynasty, along with the people of the realm, all gaze up at the sky screen.

They witness with their own eyes the bitter consequences of division and the supreme glory of unity!

At last, everyone understands: only by uniting can China preserve its civilization. Those who divide it are sinners against China for all eternity!

If Xiang Yu prevails, the Nine Provinces will fall into ruin. If the First Emperor unifies the realm, all generations will know peace!
