[Heavens-Wide Livestream] [Cross-Time Chat] [Chinese Teacher] [Ancients Send Gifts] [No Romance] [Strong Female Lead] [Traditional Culture] [Wild Imagination] [Heartwarming] [Career-Focused]
Su Wan, a twenty-six-year-old Chinese teacher, casually starts a livestream about classical poetry and prose after work, hoping to make a little money for milk tea.
Who could have guessed that her livestream would be linked to the sky screen across all the heavens, drawing in people from every dynasty!
Modern viewers send virtual flowers, while emperors, scholars, frontier soldiers, and farm women from a thousand years ago directly gift her silver, ancient books, and medicinal herbs!
The comments are split into two channels. Modern viewers can't see the ancients, and the ancients don't understand food delivery or high-speed rail. When they speak, it's all in classical Chinese.
She discusses Li Bai's "Seeing a Friend Off at Jingmen Ferry," and Li Bai himself joins in. She visits the Terracotta Army in Xi'an, and Ying Zheng stops to gaze at it. She unpacks "The Old Man of Shihao," moving countless people caught in the turmoil of war to tears.
The First Emperor asks about the fate of a unified empire. Du Fu confides in her about a life spent in hardship and exile. The frontier soldier Chen Wuchang listens as she soothes his homesickness year after year. A He, a poor boy from a humble family, passes the examination to become a scholar thanks to her explanations.
The gifts sent by the ancients are automatically converted into cash. Su gradually builds up her savings, quits her job, and travels around Chang'an and Luoyang to teach poetry on location.
A single desk lamp connects her to a thousand years of cultural heritage. One gentle Chinese lesson comforts the disappointed across the ages.
Without chasing hot topics or publicity, she relies on nothing but a three-foot desk and a sky full of ancients to earn a comfortable living and warm the long years of history.
