Whatever video or work she makes is a disaster. Despite having hundreds of thousands of followers, she has no works in her creator's column, so she indignantly switches to the history section. On the day her new video goes live, Su Xingyan accidentally gets bound to a livestreaming System, which projects her videos into the skies above different dynasties in parallel worlds. "A Roundup of the Ten Greatest Female Politicians in Ancient History" plays in the skies of every dynasty, causing an uproar. Liu Bang beats his chest and stamps his feet: "Wicked woman! How did I end up marrying the wicked Lü Zhi?!" Zhao Guangyi is furious and frustrated: "Why is it that both of us have widowed mothers and orphaned children, but my big brother got a weak, easy-to-bully one, while the mother and son I got stuck with, Xiao Chuo and her son, are as tough as nails?!" Li Shimin is stunned: "??? Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li Zhi, which of you can explain how Wu Zetian ended up on the throne?" Qin Shi Huang ponders the matter and summons his ministers: "Bring me any women in your families who have received an education. I'll take a look, and if they're suitable, I'll keep them at court to work for me." At first, most people just laugh at the emperors who have to deal with "women meddling in government," enjoying the spectacle. But then... "A Roundup of the Ten Emperors Who Sought Immortality in Ancient History," "A Roundup of the Ten Battles in Ancient History Won Against the Odds"... Zhu Yuanzhang: "Zhu Di, what's the deal with that descendant of yours from several generations down?! And why did you become emperor?! ... What kind of trash is this Ming Emperor Yingzong? ... Imperial physician! Medicine... medicine, hurry and get me some medicine!" Sun Quan: "Who keeps spamming 'Zhang Liao: Thanks for the gift, Boss Sun' in the chat?" As video after video plays, the people who once enjoyed the spectacle can no longer find anything funny. The rulers: "Whose house just collapsed? Oh, it's mine. :-)" P.S.: 1. All the worlds are parallel worlds, not historical fiction or research-based. The timelines don't affect one another. Please don't scrutinize the details. It's lighthearted entertainment, meant to be fun. I'm writing it happily, and I hope you enjoy reading it, too~ 2. For the sake of love and peace, please don't bring up other stories under my work, and don't bring up my work under other stories. QvQ 3. Leaving room for an addendum. If anything later needs to be specifically noted in the blurb, I'll come back and add it! Upcoming story: I Use the Saintly System to Rule the World (Nation-Building) Blurb: Reborn as the sickly daughter of a wealthy family in ancient times, she finds herself in an age of chaos. The golden finger she's bound to is a saintly System that rewards her for doing good deeds. Ying Yan says: The System believes good people get good rewards. If I can earn rewards, then I'll be a saint and bring light to the world. * At the end of a dynasty, the realm descends into chaos. Lords with armies rise up, each setting their sights on the throne. When Ying Yan's name begins to spread, the various lords, busy seizing territory, pay no attention to the girl famous for her "benevolence." Never mind that she's a woman. Since ancient times, how many lords who built their reputations on being "virtuous, benevolent, and kind" have managed to avoid a spectacular fall? They don't even need to do anything. The people she hopes to win over will turn against her and leave her with nothing. And yet... Refugees pour in from all directions, and Ying Yan opens the city gates and takes them all in. In years of famine, Ying Yan opens the granaries and ensures that every person in her domain has food to eat. When the various lords work together to build waterworks for the greater good, Ying Yan doesn't conscript laborers. Instead, she hires workers and pays them. Then one year, a plague breaks out, killing and injuring countless people. The famous doctors of the realm shake their heads and sigh, while the lords think that surely Ying Yan won't be able to keep up her act this time. But Ying Yan not only develops medicine with her people, she is the first to test it on herself. The lords: "You really care more about your reputation than your life, don't you? :)" A short scene. One day, Ying Yan captures a rival lord who is also competing to rule the realm. The other lords' scouts learn that she's going to kill the prisoner and report back. Having spent years hoping to rip off Ying Yan's mask of "benevolence," the lords are thrilled: She's going to kill someone! Ying Yan is going to kill someone! Now she can't keep pretending to be a saint! But the people watching the execution say: "Our lady is a living Bodhisattva sent from heaven to save us from our suffering! If the Bodhisattva had no choice but to kill someone, then her victim must have been a terrible sinner!" The lords: ??? Ying Yan, you have to be kidding! Upcoming story: Swapped Bodies with the Young God of War General Blurb: Lu Yun was born into a family of scholars. She was an erudite and talented woman of her time, whose abilities were even praised by the emperor. Yet fate dealt her a cruel hand. After being married to the wrong person, she was sent back to her family. On the way, she was captured by Hu cavalry and spent years adrift in a foreign land. She spent half her life alone and displaced, fell ill while still young, and eventually died of sickness. One day, she is reborn and returns to the beginning of the turning point that changed her fate in her previous life. Just as Lu Yun struggles to avoid the same events, only to face them all over again, and resolves to accept death rather than repeat her past mistakes, she suddenly discovers... She has awakened in the body of a young man she recognizes. Gu Chengfeng. A young prodigy of the imperial family, he pacifies foreign tribes, slays enemy raiders, protects the state, and wins outstanding military honors. He is hailed as a God of War general. The only thing people regret is that his brilliant life ended when he was just twenty-four. He is also her... benefactor. Gu Chengfeng had only taken a nap. When he woke, he found himself surrounded by a group of foreigners staring at him with hostility. What the hell? Highwaymen had dared to pick a fight with him? Only after using a carriage plank to beat the bandits into submission, then laughing coldly because he still hadn't had enough, did the young General Gu finally realize... He seemed to have become a girl? * Two strange things have happened in Chang'an recently: First, the mild-mannered and well-read Miss Lu, a frail young woman admired by everyone, single-handedly beat every bandit along the roads to the southeast. She made them kneel and call her "Father," then bow down and worship her. Second, the unruly young General Gu, who had always been arrogant and raced his horse through the streets, obediently went to the Imperial Academy to study. He even debated the scholars in class, then impressed every student and teacher with his exceptional knowledge and made them humbly ask for his guidance. Everyone: ...??? Wait a minute. Is there really no way these completely unbelievable events are just rumors?! The two people everyone sighs over as "Oh, how extraordinary!" reply: "Hmm... Why not?" The two of them are about to get married, and they're becoming more and more like a married couple. That's perfectly reasonable, right? Theme: Learn from history to build a better future
