After Nan Qiao became a five-star streamer, she gained a livestream privilege: her stream would be projected into the palaces of emperors across different times and spaces. Her viewership and tips skyrocketed!
Her new series, The Fall of Dynasties: A Rundown of Unworthy Descendants and How They Ran Their Ancestors' Empires into the Ground, drew throngs of emperors eager to watch??
The Self-Important Emperor Zhu Qizhen: Watch Me Ruin the Great Ming's Revival with a Single Blow. After being thoroughly spoiled about the Tumu Fortress Incident, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had transmigrated into Zhu Qizhen, felt his blood pressure soar. “I'll turn the Tumu Fortress Incident into a great victory! I'll bring Esen and Toqtobugh back in chains, and make them all my horses!”
The Southern Song's Runaway God, Wanyan Gou: I Love Treacherous Flatterers, Not Loyal Ministers, Because I Love the Throne So Deeply. After hearing that treacherous ministers would get a loyal general killed, Zhao Kuangyin, wearing Zhao Gou's face, smashed the desk with his coiling dragon staff. “Promote Yue Fei to commander of the campaign against the Jin! Give Qin Hui armor and have him ride with Us to fight the Jin army. We'll wash away the shame of the Jingkang Incident with Jin blood! I swear I won't return to court until Kaifeng is reclaimed!”
Li Longji's Great Reversal: To Reward Myself, I Wasted the Entire Tang Dynasty's National Fortune. After waking from a dream and seeing the Tang dynasty's splendor vanish in the flames of war, Li Shimin heard that An Lushan had rebelled. He stood up. “Perfect! I haven't beaten up a youngster in years. I'll bleed this chubby brat dry today, and none of the ten military governors will get away!”
Aisin Gioro Hongli, Who Learned All the Wrong Lessons: Kangxi in His Later Years, but Bigger, Who Squandered the Qing Dynasty's Entire Fortune. After watching Heshen's corruption and hearing the sums involved, Kangxi's understanding was shattered. He patted Qianlong's shiny head and said, “You've spent our entire fortune! The Qing will be infamous for ten thousand years! We have to use Fourth Brother's methods: punish corruption, spread the land tax among households, cut extravagance, open channels for criticism, and employ Han officials! In the Age of Exploration, the many powers will compete to become the greatest????”
Liu Ao, the Ghost Beneath the Peonies: I Used the Han Dynasty to Make Zhao Feiyan and Zhao Hede Famous for Their Beauty. Liu Che watched as three generations squandered the achievements of ten Han emperors. He sneered to himself. “Excellent, just excellent! Beautiful women and their mortal remains have bewitched the emperor, and the Wang clan has schemes of its own. They certainly know how to manipulate imperial power! If I don't wipe them all out, I won't deserve my illustrious reputation!”
The Martial Emperor's methods were as swift as thunder, clearing the land and strengthening the realm.
Hu Hai, History's First Second-Generation Scion: Our Ancestors Worked Hard for Over a Hundred Years, and in Four Years He Took Us Back to Before the Warring States. At his own funeral, Ying Zheng witnessed the achievements of six generations vanish. He wished his spirit could burrow back into the past. “Hu Hai! Zhao Gao! I'll have you both torn apart by chariots!” Returned to ten years earlier, Ying Zheng set aside the Epang Palace, eased corvee labor, lowered taxes, recruited worthy talents, used both Confucianism and Legalism, and became a sage ruler who governed the realm with virtue, ushering in the first golden age of the imperial system!
When the series ended, Nan Qiao suddenly realized that its fans were incredibly enthusiastic. They had made her the most popular streamer on the site!
Warnings and points to note
1. The author knows Zhao Gou was not a descendant of Zhao Kuangyin. The novel is mainly about powerful emperors of the same dynasty saving their dynasty's foundations.
2. Historical corrections and discussion are welcome. Writing advice and personal attacks are not. Thank you!
3. Parallel timelines. Please don't read further into them.
4. Under feudal monarchy, a nation's rise and fall often depended on one person. The emperors who deserve a beating most are those who held power but failed to do their jobs! The original emperors deserve to die, and the author will say it for everyone. Just enjoy the story!
5. This novel will not whitewash Zhu Qizhen, nor will Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements be credited to Zhu Qizhen. The same goes for the other emperors later on. Feel free to enjoy the story!
A recommendation for the author's next novel: The Marquis's Manor Baby's Thoughts Are Exposed, Turning the Nation's Fate Around. A heartwarming, satisfying story!

Jiang Xianian opened her eyes and found herself reborn as a newborn young lady of the Marquis's Manor.
Jiang Xianian was delighted. “I don't have to be a wage-slave anymore! From now on, I can lie flat amid fine food and clothes, and live the happy life of a lazy fish!”
But the Gossip System told her some bad news:
Bad news number one: She's the real daughter in a switched-at-birth story, and she's about to be swapped with the fake daughter. The fake daughter's family will treat her like a slave and torment her!
Bad news number two: In ten years, the Marquis's Manor will be confiscated and the family exiled. The fake daughter will use the opportunity to switch back with her, so as the daughter of a criminal, she'll suffer the hardships of exile all over again!
Bad news number three: In twenty years, the northern Jing Kingdom will march south. Its iron hooves will crush the entire Xing Kingdom, and all its people will become subjects of a fallen nation, enslaved, bullied, and even killed at will by the people of Jing. As the descendant of the Marquis of Weiyuan, the man most hated and feared by the people of Jing, she'll be found by them, tortured, and, after a horrible death, violated and fed to the dogs!
So this was a messed-up romance about a fake daughter falling in love with a prince! And she was the real daughter, destined to be cannon fodder!
Jiang Xianian had reached the turning point of her fate, but was bound in swaddling clothes and unable to move. She let out a piercing scream: [Mom and Dad, save me! The wet nurse is going to take me away and abuse me, waaaah!]
The Jiang family all froze. What?! My daughter! My little sister!
The wet nurse, whose plan had nearly succeeded, was caught on the spot. Once Jiang Xianian was in her mother's arms, she calmed down and went back to listening to the gossip: [Huh? Wasn't swapping the babies the wet nurse's idea?]
*
To soothe her little daughter, Madam Jiang took her to a temple to pray for blessings.
Jiang Xianian realized something was wrong as soon as they arrived:
[This place sounds so familiar! Isn't this where my eldest sister is set up, forcing her to marry that scumbag from the Duke's Manor later on?!]
[Oh my god, he's even more vicious than I thought! He beat his half-siblings to death and covered it up by claiming they died young! No wonder my eldest sister was almost beaten to death in the original story!]
[Later, when the Marquis's Manor is confiscated, the Duke's Manor divorces my eldest sister on the grounds that she has no children, and she freezes and starves to death on the street. How awful! I want to find the person who set my sister up and hack them to pieces!]
Madam Jiang and the eldest Jiang daughter were horrified: !!!
So while Jiang Xianian was still trying to think of a way to keep her sister from meeting the scumbag, Madam Jiang had already ordered the arrest of the maid who had been bribed, and was preparing to take her to the Duke's Manor to answer for her crimes.
Jiang Xianian was amazed once again. [Good heavens, is this temple a place like the White Horse Club, or an intelligence agency? Their services cover way too much!]
*
The Crown Prince came to visit. Seeing Jiang Xianian, as white and soft as a ball of jade, he couldn't resist picking her up. Jiang Xianian got so excited that she peed, and the Crown Prince heard her babyish voice:
[Wow! Is this the Crown Prince who's like the moonlight in the book? He's one of the best in both literary and military arts, tall and handsome... Seeing him in person makes the book's description seem so drab! It's not even a tenth as good as the real thing!]
[What a shame. Such a wonderful Crown Prince dies suddenly, and the male lead only has to look three-tenths like him to win the affection of the court officials and emperor, then ascend the throne. A fake is still a fake. In the end, he leaves Xing in ruins, with people wailing everywhere and the common folk suffering in misery for decades!]
[Waaah... To prevent the Marquis's Manor from being confiscated and our heads cut off, and to keep myself from being exiled and tortured to death by the people of Jing, the best solution is probably to keep this moonlight Crown Prince alive and make him emperor, so he can save us from disaster, right?]
The Crown Prince and the Jiang family were stunned: !!!
After that, the Crown Prince came to see Jiang Xianian every few days, held the little darling, and even made her his sworn younger sister!
One day, he finally heard Jiang Xianian lament: [My moonlight Crown Prince died so carelessly? Is this damn plot deliberately paving the way for the male lead?!]
When Jiang Xianian grew up, she suddenly realized that the original story had become unrecognizable. The male lead had gone from a pitiful little boy to an airhead. The Crown Prince who was supposed to die suddenly had married, had children, and successfully governed as emperor. The Marquis's Manor, which was supposed to be confiscated, had become a wealthy family with two dukes. The Jing Kingdom had vanished into history, and its former people had sincerely submitted under benevolent rule. From then on, Xing flourished, and the realm was at peace!
Jiang Xianian: [Hahaha... Now I can lie flat without worry! I'm going to travel across mountains, rivers, and seas!]
A certain pretty clingy follower: “Take me with you, Niannian! I'll pay for your foot rubs and shoulder massages! I'm your most loyal attendant!”
The clingy follower's emperor brother covered his face. “I can't bear to watch...”

All previous emperors were blatantly partial to the First Emperor. No matter how well others did, such as Li Shimin, they would not be able to surpass Ying Zheng.
The great man said: Zulong is an expert who values the past but ignores the present! Qin's politics and laws have been carried out for hundreds of generations, so there is no need to lament the rise and fall of the country through the ages. Zulong achieved immortality in another sense
Being the First Emperor means being different.
There is no clear evidence that Fusu prefers Confucianism. The only evaluation of him is that he is resolute and brave. As for whether he supports the enfeoffment, there is no clear historical data to serve as evidence. It is not clear who his teacher is.
That's right, don't dress like Hu Hai
The first three are those who seek medical treatment in a hurry due to illness, and the last one is an old fool seeking immortality.
The First Emperor was indeed ruined. . . Historically, he was just obsessed with becoming a Zen monk, and in the end he was so angry that he even complained about Taishan's shortness (the complaint was directed at the pointing Confucian scholars, not Taishan), and he himself looked down on those who used words. As a result, he was written here as trying to please the Confucian scholars. . . . It's really ridiculous. Tianmu is complaining about the limitations of Confucianism, and he still advocates Confucianism. Isn't this sick?
Qin Shihuang's surname was Zhao because he was originally from the Zhao family. Nobles at that time had both surnames and surnames. Before the Western Han Dynasty, people generally called their surnames rather than surnames. The royal family of the Qin Dynasty had the surname Zhao, so Qin Shihuang should be called Zhao Zheng.
Brother Zheng. . . . . . . Did you dig a hole for Hu Hai to step into? That's weird, let's read another chapter
