In the twelfth year of the Daotong era, the Holy Grand Empress Dowager died at the age of twenty-five.
No one in the imperial harem could stop grieving. Quite a few even wanted to follow the empress dowager in death.
Jiang Yueyao had climbed to a position above countless others at a young age, only to die before she could even start enjoying herself.
The good news was that she came back to life. The bad news was that she was bound to a livestream System.
Jiang Yueyao: ...?
The System told her that she had to strike all sorts of poses in front of a little box to please the people watching on the other end, make her livestream go viral, and earn herself plenty of "opportunities."
Jiang Yueyao: In this life, the only thing I haven't been is emperor. What "opportunities" have I not had?
I'm not doing it.
But when Jiang Yueyao returned to the home of her current identity, she discovered that she was a woman whose husband was cheating on her left and right, who couldn't scrape together two ounces of silver, and who could only survive by fawning on her scumbag husband.
Jiang Yueyao: ...In this life, I climbed from the rank of Attendant to Empress Dowager. What haven't I done? Livestreaming is nothing.
I can do it.

The life of a streamer was dull, so Jiang Yueyao repeated the same three questions every day: Did my livestream go viral yesterday? Will it go viral today? Will it go viral tomorrow?
But being a streamer wasn't easy. You had to be beautiful and stunning, and speak gently and entertainingly.
Jiang Yueyao had the first part down. As for the second...
After Jiang Yueyao had cursed her viewers out of her livestream for the umpteenth time, she thought that was the end of it and was about to log off. Then a few comments suddenly appeared on her phone.
[Your Majesty, I've finally found you!]
[Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's Ling'er! How did we end up here?]
[Mother Empress! Your son has come too late to save you!]
A viewer who happened to stumble across the livestream: ...This streamer sure knows how to put on a show... Wait, this is kind of addictive.

The "ancients" who had accidentally transmigrated into this world all joined Jiang Yueyao's livestream, whether they wanted to or not.
And so Jiang Yueyao's livestream took on a very strange air:
"Your Majesty, I made these rose milk pastries myself. Please try some."
"Wait, Your Majesty, this is peach blossom honey I brewed with my family's secret recipe. You used to love it."
"Your Majesty, I want you to decide this for me. This morning, Li Mei... Li Yunshu pushed me!"
"That's a lie! Your Majesty, please judge fairly. She was the one who insulted me first!"
"Mother Empress, please join me in conquering the world!"
"Your Majesty, I've picked out a few beauties for you."
The spectators all shouted, "666!"
And so Jiang Yueyao's livestream went completely viral.
Until one day, Jiang Yueyao happened to read a comment:
[Empress? Why are you here too?]
Jiang Yueyao's heart tightened. The only person who would call her empress was... her late husband, the emperor.
