Livestreaming the Nation's Rise

In a wasteland world, everything lies in ruins. The remnants of human civilization are searching for a way forward.

She Lanling was forcibly bound to a mysterious livestream System. She learned that in one month, she would be thrown into various pocket worlds to livestream, with no way to break free. The only upside was that she could bring things back from those other worlds.

She Lanling promptly handed herself over to the state.

And so

At 3:05 a.m. on May 27, 1070 of the New Calendar, a red emergency dispatch was sent through the secure line directly to the highest authorities.

At 3:30 a.m., three teams from the army, navy, and air force arrived at the She residence to protect She Lanling.

At 3:35 a.m., military snipers took up positions at nearby high points.

At 5:13 a.m., after a series of molecular analyses, toxin tests, and samples taken from the System's items, She Lanling put on a hazmat suit and boarded a military aircraft bound for the capital.

At 8:32 a.m., the national chief nutritionist, the army-navy-air-force team commanders, the national medical team, and everyone else were ready and waiting.

The head of state said, “Don’t worry, young lady. Over the next month, we’ll get you into shape and train you in marksmanship and martial arts, so you can stay safe in the other world!”

A month later, She Lanling arrived in another world through the System, carrying a gun, a hiking backpack full of military-issue canned beef, and a first-aid kit.

The comments in her livestream looked like this

The head of state tipped her eight hundred million: “Xiao She, remember, if a problem can be solved with money, it’s not really a problem. The state will fund you. You have to get your hands on that cultivation manual!”

The military department tipped her a missile: “You just need to destroy the dragon vein, right? Blow it up!”

“Having the state to lean on feels great.”

She Lanling sighed.

Title: I Became the First Emperor of Qin’s National Advisor with a Consort System

Blurb:

She was the person dearest to the First Emperor of Qin. She was Emperor Wu of Han’s one true love. She was the one person Tang Taizong could never bear to lay a finger on. She was…

First Emperor of Qin: That’s right.

Emperor Wu of Han: The empire matters less than she does.

Tang Taizong: I would share the realm with her.

Qing Ni: …

Qing Ni said softly, “Well, if someone told me they could help me unite the world, give me thousands of years’ worth of knowledge to read at my leisure, or reveal the future so I could avoid disasters, I’d cherish them too.”

The System said, “You must become the person dearest to the First Emperor of Qin. Win him over, possess him, rise above the imperial harem, and command respect at court.”

Qing Ni was full of confidence. “Don’t worry, I can do it!”

Without hesitation, she took out the fertility pill from the beginner’s gift pack. The System was immensely pleased, certain it had chosen the right person.

Then Qing Ni fed the pill to a cow.

When the time was right, the cow gave birth. Amid the pill’s accompanying effects, [Purple Qi from the East, Flowers Blooming Everywhere, Red Clouds Filling the Sky], Qing Ni appeared before the First Emperor of Qin.

The histories record

In the summer of the twenty-eighth year of the First Emperor of Qin, as the emperor performed the Fengshan sacrifice, a fierce storm arose. A Dark Maiden descended from the heavens, riding purple qi and crimson clouds. The clouds parted and the rain stopped, the sky cleared and sunlight shone through. Atop Mount Tai, the First Emperor appointed her national advisor.

The Dark Maiden brought immortal pills. Anyone who took one could have children, and the population of Great Qin soared. Livestock that took them bore twelve offspring at a time. Sprinkle them on farmland, and every grain of rice grew plump. Every household had meat to spare, and every family stored surplus grain. No one starved again.

The Dark Maiden brought sacred water. When the barbarians were drenched in it, their bodies grew delicate and soft, their skin so smooth it looked as though a touch would make it bounce. The Qin army conquered barbarian lands without lifting a finger.

Then there were the celestial garments: “So light one could dance upon a palm.” They could wrap around a thousand catties of earth and carry it off to build walls, making the work effortless.

Scented balm, applied to travel permits, gave each person a unique fragrance. Matched with the name on the register, it served as proof of identity.

…

From then on, Qin conquered the Baiyue in the south and drove back the Xiongnu in the north. The world was thrown into turmoil, and the Four Barbarians were wiped out.

The First Emperor scourged the land and shook the Four Seas with his might. Wherever the moon shone was Qin territory, and the black banner of the Dark Bird flew far overseas.

Qing Ni stood atop the Great Wall with her arms spread wide, gazing across the eight directions. “System, look! This is all Qin territory! I brought it all here. Pretty amazing, right?”

The System said, “Amazing, yes, but the mission…”

Qing Ni said, “It’s just a mission, no big deal. Your Majesty, am I the person dearest to you? The most important person in your life?”

Looking at the Qin realm, now more than a hundred times its former size, the First Emperor replied without hesitation, “Of course!”

The System looked at the mission marked complete and slowly typed a question mark.

Theme: The nation will always be our strongest support.
