    College student Zhang Yu accidentally falls into a sewer and unexpectedly gains access to a system that allows her to earn money by watching videos. However, she doesn't expect that the content she watches will be transmitted to various historical periods, and even more surprisingly, her daily life will be broadcast live. Whenever she browses something eye-catching, a group of lecherous men are watching simultaneously in secret. When the screen finally focuses on the last emperor, the expressions of emperors from all dynasties change. Emperor Kangxi exclaims: "This last monarch actually belongs to my Great Qing?!" And when pig food appears on the screen, emperors from countless dynasties sigh: "Even pigs' food is better than what we people ate back then!" As for the segment about gender reassignment surgery, viewers from all eras fall silent.
