Livestreaming for Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han, Opening Their Eyes to the World

[Some readers said the cover was AI-generated, so let me clarify: I painted it myself in watercolor, then used software to make it more cartoonish. I own the copyright! I didn't use anyone else's art! I've always drawn my own covers. You can check out the older works on my author page to see my style~] Jing Gu is a history buff. Whenever she compares Chinese and foreign history, past and present, she sees treasures that China invented first but failed to value, only for them to spread overseas, where they were put to better use and helped other countries leapfrog ahead. Each time, she wishes she could transmigrate to the past and roll up her sleeves to do something herself. The more she read, the angrier she got, so Jing Gu started making videos to share with fellow enthusiasts the missed opportunities in history: things that were once ahead of their time but were neglected. Unknown to Jing Gu, her videos were broadcast into parallel worlds throughout history, where emperors and commoners alike could watch them. Starting with a comparison of the four great ancient civilizations, Jing Gu brings together China and the rest of the world, past and present, and opens the eyes of people from the past to the wider world. From the four ancient civilizations to global cultures; from imperial tombs to treasures abroad; from the Guano War to agricultural technology; from matrilineal clans to women's power; from the Four Great Inventions to the Industrial Revolution; from the Hundred Schools of Thought to the Renaissance; from the Tea Horse Road to botanical spies; from Tang poetry and Song lyrics to cultural invasion... As the emperors gaze at a world map still covered in vast unknown regions and learn about the new world's many species and wondrous inventions, their ambitions swell like never before. Instead of fighting among themselves over the territory they've already conquered, why not expand their borders and establish a legacy without equal? Before anyone notices, history begins to change... Important: Parallel worlds and alternate history! This novel corrects historical regrets, but it's fiction, so don't take it as fact! No romance, no romance! [A plug for my upcoming novel, *The First to Earn a Marquisate by Writing Novels in Ancient Times*:] · Blurb: Ten years after Marquis Wen made her debut, the *Wuzhou Daily* runs a special feature, interviewing several celebrities about their thoughts on Jing Wenzhen, the novelist adored by the people of Wuzhou: Wu Zhao: I'm no longer interested in Taoist elixirs. I'm only interested in potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes from the Americas, which are delicious no matter how you cook them. I can provide ships. Who wants to sail overseas? Princess Taiping: I want to transmigrate to the Song Dynasty and be a general like Fu Hao, then wipe out the Jurchens! Shangguan Wan'er: I thought court politics and intrigue were complicated. Turns out criminal investigations, forensics, mysteries, and horror are complicated too. Princess Anle: I want to conquer the martial world and become its leader! I'm sincerely inviting martial arts experts to the princess's residence to teach me their secret techniques! Di Renjie: Her writing isn't particularly refined, but it's truly gripping. Lady Jing seems to have seen more corpses than I have. Yao Chong: Punctuation is so useful! Cotton is so warm! Papermaking and printing have brought great benefits to poor students! Learning from novels is so easy! Song Jing: Food stories are so delicious... I mean, so good! I need to study them more and become the best cook among Wuzhou's chancellors! Guo Ziyi: The women of the Yang family died so tragically, sob! The six heroes of Shu Mountain died so tragically, sob! I absolutely won't let anything like that happen in Wuzhou! The *Wuzhou Daily* then asks Marquis Wen: What do you think of the impact your works have had on Wuzhou? Jing Wenzhen: Well, thank you for enjoying them. Please don't rush me for updates, and please stop sending swords. Thank you! Theme: Protect traditional culture and the common people, and help ordinary people live better lives.
