818 Women Who Missed Their Chance to Change History [Historical Livestream]

Chen Xi was passionately ranting on stream, arguing with someone on behalf of historical women who had become “homewreckers” because of a single moment’s mistake. She got banned, and the video was taken down. Then, that very day, a falling object hit her on the head. She gained the power to livestream historical spoilers about the future to famous figures from history. Chen Xi’s eyes lit up. Now that was something! So she quickly livestreamed the Jingkang Incident to Liu E, showing her the fates of the empresses, consorts, and imperial princesses during the humiliation of Jingkang. Liu E immediately drew back the curtain, declared herself emperor, and changed the system. Let the Song emperors who loved poetry and romance enjoy themselves, while she established military examinations, promoted agriculture, and reclaimed the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. The name of the New Song would spread across the world. Who would dare ask about her origins then? Then she livestreamed the death of Emperor Hui, Liu Ying, to Lü Zhi, showing her the consequences of raising a spoiled child and marrying close relatives. Since the eldest son was already a lost cause and the other sons were no match for their mother, why not have the Liu family start raising their children like poison-bred champions? She could raise her daughter too, and see who would have the last laugh. She livestreamed the An Lushan Rebellion to Wu Zetian. If her son was unfilial and her nephew a useless fool, why not pass the throne directly to Taiping? Shangguan Wan'er was already a female chancellor. Why not establish civil service examinations for women as well, so the new female top scholar would no longer be buried away in the imperial harem? She livestreamed the story of the virtuous women of the Ming and Qing dynasties to Ban Zhao. Beneath the chastity arches raised in the name of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues lay piles of bones. Ban Zhao, who was advising her close friend Empress Dowager Deng and taking part in government, promptly tore up her first draft. She changed the opening of Lessons for Women from “Humility and Weakness” to “Those born weak should strive to become strong,” and began writing a practical guide to teaching women self-reliance, from household intrigues to palace power struggles. She livestreamed the tragedy at Fengbo Pavilion to Liang Hongyu. When Zhao Gou fled overseas, Liang Hongyu promptly helped him on his way. She then assisted Empress Dowager Meng of Yuanyou as she ruled from behind the curtain, achieving the miracle of the Song dynasty unifying the land after losing its emperor… Chen Xi: These women changed things by just a little, but it was a giant step forward for human history… A friendly reminder: Changing history creates an alternate world. The novel has already established parallel worlds, and the plot has gone galloping far from the original history. Please go easy on me, all you brilliant readers. Many thanks!

It was the time of the Miao and Liu Rebellion. The rebels had forced Zhao Gou to abdicate and planned to use the emperor as a puppet to control the lords. Zhao Fu was that little emperor. In 26 days, his own father would dismiss him, and his life countdown had only 100 days left… Fortunately, the game System came with him. He opened it and summoned the beta testers The full-dive historical city-building game Xing Song launched. Its first mission: Protect the young Emperor Zhao Fu and put down the Miao and Liu Rebellion. Hidden mission: Get rid of Zhao Gou and install the young emperor. The players who got beta accounts went wild. “Wow, we can use the emperor to control the lords right from the start? This is awesome!” Later, after the players had worked themselves to the bone building an empire and expanding its borders, they finally realized the real Boss was the adorable little emperor, a pink-and-white dumpling who sat on the throne eating and smiling… The real darling of the whole group. What a treat! Upcoming 2: After Transmigrating Twice, I Was Forced to Practice Dual Cultivation Blurb: This is not the kind of dual cultivation you’re thinking of Su Feifei had transmigrated to a Western fantasy world and worked hard to level up into a Grand Arcanist. Then she transmigrated again, this time to a cultivation continent. And so began her journey of leveling up through both arcane and immortal magic. She never expected to find a battered “corpse” right at the start. Su Feifei was wondering how to study the Five Elements spirit roots and a naturally formed sword bone, and perhaps make herself a set of her own, when she discovered that the “corpse,” whose sword bone had been extracted and spirit roots dug out until it was little more than a rag, was still breathing. So she used “Flesh Reformation,” “Healing,” “Purification,” and more… The sword bone grew back, the spirit roots evolved, and the tattered rag was restored into a breathtakingly beautiful genius. The moment he opened his eyes, he grabbed Su Feifei by the throat. “Who are you? A demon? A monster?” Su Feifei: “I’m your master. Get crawling!” The beauty crawled against his will… then cried out in horror, “What kind of spell did you put on me?!” Everyone said that Ling Qianye, the senior disciple of Yuxing Sect, had died alongside the Blood Demon. No one knew his own master had extracted his sword bone and dug out his spirit roots to give them to the popular junior disciple. Ling Qianye had thought he was doomed too. As his sword bone was taken, he swore a venomous oath to return as a vengeful ghost. But he never became a ghost. He opened his eyes fully restored, only to become the “familiar” of a strange Grand Arcanist named Su Feifei? Su Feifei: “Wrong. A puppet has no intelligence. Someone like you is called a… summoned beast!” Ling Qianye: “Summoned… beast?! What the hell is that? Why is my body changing shape? Splitting? Wriggling? Twisting? Why is it growing so many… tentacles?!” Su Feifei: “Heh, your transformation reflects your state of mind. Tsk! So this is what your inner self looks like: something indescribable!” Cultivation world: Shocking! The Demon Realm’s rising star Su Feifei loves pulling out tendons, peeling skin, devouring bones, and sucking out marrow. Even the once-genius Ling Qianye has become her puppet monster! Later: Want to level up, survive tribulation, and withstand heavenly lightning? Find the witch by the Five Rivers Canal. It’s worth it! A cultivation story about an unreliable Grand Arcanist and her summoned beast. Theme: Women should strive to become strong
