Getting Rich by Starting a Historical Livestream for Qin Shi Huang

New story: I Pretend to Be a God with the Fourth Calamity [History] | Seeking readers Chen Qiao was an ordinary, unremarkable office worker. Every day, going to work felt like attending a funeral. She often felt she was being forced to work overtime on the brink of dropping dead. Worst of all, the pay was low and the work was endless. Just as she was planning to quit, a Livestream System came looking for her. The salary and benefits it offered were so good that Chen Qiao nearly cried tears of joy right out of the corners of her mouth. But after signing the employment contract and carefully reading the Livestream requirements, Chen Qiao realized the System had tricked her! After all, what kind of respectable person [that’s not the point] would do Livestreams like these? And how could these possibly be Livestreams that make big money [now that’s the point]?! Chen Qiao immediately tried to back out, only for the heartless Livestream System to fling a clause at her demanding a penalty of hundreds of millions for breach of contract. Having just quit her job and now penniless, Chen Qiao could only grit her teeth and get back to work [crossed out], then start Livestreaming in a half-hearted way. #The truth behind the late-night screams that have old men and women in every village thrilled!#, A Livestream on postpartum care for sows. #Men will fall silent, women will weep: an astonishing tale the likes of which comes once in a thousand years!#, A Livestream explaining how to avoid scams like “I, Qin Shi Huang/Han Wudi/Tang Taizong, need you to send me money.” #Learn these eighteen family secrets, passed down to sons and daughters alike, and your partner will never leave you!#, A Livestream breaking down farming tips on agriculture and water conservancy. #Learn these four little facts, and you can travel the world without fear!#, A Livestream looking back at the Four Great Inventions of China. #Click 666 and experience the extravagant pleasures of being a member of the ruling class!#, A Livestream poking fun at the ten most wasteful emperors in Chinese history. #Shocking! Knowing these facts can help you live safely to ninety-nine!#, A survival Livestream teaching people how to anticipate earthquakes, floods, severe droughts, and other natural disasters, and how to escape, carry out rescues, and rebuild afterward. … The nonsensical Livestream titles were randomly generated, which was bad enough. She also had to make the content fit the topic, and she wasn’t allowed to change a single character in a title, or ten thousand yuan would be deducted from her pay. Chen Qiao, who hadn’t earned a single cent: …System, I really appreciate all your help! Livestream System: You’re welcome. Chen Qiao: What kind of respectable Livestream could possibly fit these stupid titles?! System, you’re just making things impossible for me! Unfortunately, the Livestream System was impervious to reason and wouldn’t budge. Chen Qiao could only Livestream with a heart full of grievance. Years later, Chen Qiao would be a hundred percent grateful to her former self for charging ahead, working hard, and making money without fear of hardship. After all, getting rich really was wonderful! Hehehe! In the twenty-sixth year of King Zheng of Qin, after ten years of war, Qin unified the six states. Qin’s ruler, Ying Zheng, declared himself emperor and became Qin Shi Huang. Qin had united the six states and established the Qin Dynasty, but the former nobles and common people still yearned for their old kingdoms and refused to give their hearts to Qin. That very year, an immortal descended from Bai Yujing and bestowed a divine sign upon Xianyang, the capital of Qin. It laid a solid foundation for the true unification of the land in the centuries to come. The history books praised it thus: Qin was blessed by Heaven, and Heaven’s mandate rested above all with Qin Shi Huang! Additional notes: 1. The protagonist’s Livestreams are lighthearted, and she has an incurable case of chuunibyou. Life is a performance, and getting rich depends on acting! The protagonist will never have her identity exposed. She’ll earnestly pretend to be a god from beginning to end, all in the hopes of keeping her few true fans around! But at heart she’s still human, so she won’t have much divinity. [Qin Shi Huang: Guards! Put my name up there!] 2. These are all parallel worlds, so there will be no historical nihilism! The historical Livestreams are tentatively set between the Qin and Ming dynasties. I may add other periods if inspiration strikes along the way. 3. The System is the love interest. The romance will be very limited, or nonexistent. Immortals who appear include the Nine Heavens Goddess, the Goddess of Wushan, Bixia Yuanjun, Taiyin Yuanjun, the Goddess of the Han River, Lingbo Fairy, Erlang Shen, Nezha, the Old Man Under the Moon, King Yama, and others. The order is undecided, and the list may grow. Seeking follows for my next story! [I Pretend to Be a God with the Fourth Calamity] [History] Synopsis: College student Miao Xinyi accidentally gets bound to a System called the Fourth Calamity. She has to complete all kinds of tasks issued by the System, or she’ll fail her classes. And failing a task even once means failing a class. If she fails too many times, she’ll be plagued by bad luck for the rest of her life! So Miao Xinyi has no choice but to reluctantly [crossed out] begin her career as a task-doer. But she’ll never work for a living! As long as she outsources the work, she won’t be a lowly wage slave anymore! Her first little goal: summon one hundred million players. # One night in the distant future, a game called Five Thousand Years suddenly popped up on the phone screens of countless night owls who stayed up cultivating immortality. Its ads were dazzlingly polished. Some people angrily closed it, some opened it casually, some tagged their friends, and others ignored it altogether. “What good can a free game possibly be? It’s all a scam. One star!” “Your pitch sounds even better than a song. Since you said, ‘Princess, please log in,’ I’ll take a look and see what you are!” “…” Some time later: “Guys, who gets it? I admit, I’m hooked!” “Holy crap, holy crap! Why are there only a thousand spots?!” “Oh my god! Please grant me a player slot!” “I swear I’ll never mess around again!

I’m your precious child, lost for over two thousand years!!! Player C: Two thousand years ago, I was a noble of one of the six states. How could I serve Ying Zheng? Oh my god!

The heroine has a Fourth Calamity System and pretends to be a god. She summons players from the future to work in various dynasties, and every player who’s worked there says it was great and they want to come back. 2.
