Overnight, a colossal time-and-space livestream appeared in the skies above every dynasty. After a burst of static flickered across the screen, the bewildered onlookers saw a handsome young man and an ancient scene emerge on the enormous display.
On the screen, the handsome man, dressed in Qin attire, blended in among countless Qin laborers as he livestreamed the legendary Epang Palace, said to have consumed the wealth of all six rival states before Xiang Yu burned it to the ground. No one had seen it for a thousand years.
As he walked through the site and narrated its history, a magnificent palace seemed to take shape before everyone’s eyes, its foundations resting on a thousand pillars, its splendor beyond price.
Just as the emperors of every dynasty were about to ask who the man on the screen was, livestream subtitles suddenly appeared before them: [Pay 3,000 gold and silver to unlock the live chat system.]

As livestreams spanning the dimensions of history unfolded, the figures of sages and emperors from ages past appeared before the world once more. Which was more rousing: King Qin unifying the six states, or the nations paying tribute to the Tang?
Was Genghis Khan's cavalry sweeping across distant seas more stirring, or the Ming emperor refusing to surrender even unto death?

[Important Content Warnings]
1. No romance, serious tone, logic comes first and wish fulfillment second. (The author is terrible at writing blurbs, but the novel itself is much better~)
2. Historical livestreams may spark disagreements in the comments. Different opinions are welcome, but hostile arguments will be deleted.
3. This story takes place in parallel timelines. The dynasties can communicate with one another, but each belongs to a different timeline, so you can think of them as a multiverse.
4. The story aims to respect history, but the author is still a novice. If you spot any historical errors, feel free to point them out and the author will correct them promptly.
Coming soon: Who Am I Today? [Entertainment Industry]. Feel free to add it to your reading list~
Preview: After eighteen years of hard work, Qi Nan finally became a double-crowned Best Actor. But after rewarding himself with an all-night reading binge, he unexpectedly transmigrated into the melodramatic novel he was following, becoming an insignificant cannon-fodder character.
According to the original story's timeline, the original love interest has yet to enter the entertainment industry, while the love rival is a top-tier star idol dogged by scandals. And Qi Nan? He's the least popular member and face of the love rival's boy band, yet his shamelessly sweet, calculating persona has earned him a huge following.
Before long, the love interest will enter the entertainment industry and meet the love rival, who will fall for him at first sight. The love rival will use his own fame to secure the love interest's future, only to fall into disgrace, become notorious, and finally be coldly abandoned by him.
And because Qi Nan's persona clashes with that of the original love interest, the latter's fans will attack him until he is so miserable that he leaves the scene.
Qi Nan had just recalled the general plot and was weighing whether to change his persona and reclaim his place at the top of the entertainment world when a sudden voice in his head interrupted him.
I have read no less than four historical novels, and this one is very special. Not to mention the unique language style of ancient prose, what surprised me most is that you showed the characters of ancient emperors very well. Most of the ancient feudal/feudal emperors were not approachable. They were suspicious, greedy, with unstoppable ambitions, the arrogance of the superiors, the self-righteousness limited to their own era (sorry, forgive me for using the word doge), and deep-seated cities. This is the true reaction of various heroes in history if they could face the live broadcast. Especially in Ying Zheng, the oppression and natural oppression of the people by the emperor is very realistic! This is one of the biggest differences between the ancient feudal system and ours now - class nature. This kind of display allowed me to calm down my somewhat heated mind after watching other historical live broadcasts. I no longer kept calling Zheng Ge, Zhu Zhu, etc. Affectionately. I clearly realized what a ruler is and what an emperor is. They are people who stand at the top of the pyramid. Don't imagine that you can approach them as equals if you are a god. Don't be self-righteous and think that as long as you like and worship them, they can show the approachable appearance we want to see. They have never come from among the people to the people. They are existences that we can only respect and keep away from.
I have some questions after seeing this. What is the purpose of Yuan Bai opening a live broadcast room? By constantly talking to the emperor about people's livelihood, is he trying to change history? Another little tip, although I think Da Da's style of classical Chinese is good, it seems a bit too classical... If it is an online novel, I think most people would not want to spend too much time thinking about the specific meaning of their dialogue in classical Chinese. Therefore, your style is bound to be relatively niche. If you join V, you must be mentally prepared~ Furthermore, I personally feel that the level of intrigue in the article is a bit high? It feels like there are eight hundred thoughts hidden under each sentence, and having to explain hundreds of words will make the whole writing feel draggy. Of course, we all know that emperors have many thoughts, but from the reader's point of view, the overall writing style is a bit depressing, and it is not enjoyable to read. The above is just my personal opinion output, and there is no intention to necessarily adopt it! Just personal thoughts. In the end, just write what you want to write.
The wording feels weird
(Beep ~ the phone rings) (picks up the phone casually) (finds out to be a liar) (speaks first) I am Yuan Bai, the famous historical live broadcast anchor, now you click on my author column, pre-receipt: ①: "Historical Live Broadcast Starting from Wang Wei's "Lovesickness"", a series of articles by my good brother Yuan Jiang. ②: "I became a heartthrob by drawing cards", Shura Arena, a big stage for love. ③: "Apocalyptic Savior [Quick Travel]", enjoy the journey of becoming a god. After the collection is successful, I will invite you as a special guest in the history live broadcast room. Please do not let me down sincerity ~ (Tone is erratic and gentle) (Waiting for everyone to collect) (Collection is successful) (Hang up the phone)
In fact, I think the heuristic of "What do I want in the world" is very useless. A powerful emperor can easily tell that you don't really want it. How can the protagonist defeat these old foxes? So if you extend the life of those emperors who really benefit the world, won't it also make the common people suffer?
The writing is quite good, but the writing method is too narrow for the audience, there are too many dialogues, and there are too many ancient texts, which has reached the point where it affects the plot and reading. One of the purposes of the author's publication should be for everyone to see it. Just like Bai Juyi wrote poetry so that everyone can understand it, blindly pursuing ancient prose is a bit putting the cart before the horse. The most popular live stream recently, with 100,000 words, it stands to reason that the collection should be at least over 10,000. But if the plot is not smooth enough, the ideas are not novel enough, and it is too old-fashioned, it is foreseeable that the final score will be difficult to improve. (It's not meant to guide writing. It's a pity. It's just emotion. If the author doesn't like it, I'll delete it.)
I've read a few chapters, but I'm still confused and can't explain anything.
This is too witty. How can any emperor in the past dynasties not read history? Emperors after the Han Dynasty did not have to guess at such iconic locations as Yan Ran's meritorious service and Feng Lang Juxu, okay??
Is this a life-extending method?
This feeling is asking you if you are happy?
