Ye Xiaozhi, a laid-back office worker, is broke, deep in debt, and out of options when she accidentally binds herself to a historical livestream System.
After that, every video she makes is projected onto the sky of every dynasty, like a giant screen in a shopping mall, for people to watch.
Episode One: “Top Beauties Who Could Bring Down a City With a Smile”
King You of Zhou: Play with the beacon fires to fool the feudal lords? What a joke! I am a wise ruler. How could I do something so foolish? I'll send someone to execute Baosi right now!
Goujian: If Baosi were from Yue, I wouldn't have to send Fan Li to search all over for beauties.
Dong Shi: A top beauty? Who else could it be but me? It can't possibly be Xishi from my village.
Zhen Mi: Don't drag me into this. It has nothing to do with me.
Yang Yuhuan: We can talk about whether I'm a beauty later. Have my lychees been sent from Sichuan yet?
Chen Yuanyuan: Being beautiful is no reason for you to pin the blame on me. Got it?
Episode Two: “Unlucky Emperors Who Did All the Work for Someone Else”
In 578, Yuwen Yong of Northern Zhou returned from a campaign against the Turks.
At the victory banquet, a sky screen suddenly appeared. The celestial maiden on the screen foretold that all the lands Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, Yuwen Yong, had spent his life conquering would eventually be seized by Emperor Wen of Sui.
At these words, Yuwen Yong was so furious he nearly keeled over and died.
Yang Jian, Duke of Daxing, stepped forward to comfort him. “Your Majesty, don't panic. I will surely help you find this treacherous rebel, Emperor Wen of Sui.”
Yang Jian: What! You're saying I'm unlucky, too?
Episode Three: “Love and Hate Between Literary Greats”
Wei
In a bamboo grove, Ji Kang and his close friend Shan Tao lament that true confidants are hard to find and chat happily. Suddenly, a line of large characters appears on the sky screen: “Letter Severing Ties with Shan Juyuan,” signed Ji Kang.
The atmosphere becomes excruciatingly awkward.
Tang
After finishing “Presented to Li Bai” in his thatched hut, Du Fu gazes at the sky and wonders when he'll receive a poem from Li Bai titled “Presented to Du Fu.”
Then several lines of poetry appear on the sky screen: “Presented to Wang Lun” and “Presented to Meng Haoran.”
Episode Four: “Famous Eunuchs Who Left Their Mark on History”
Sun Yaoting: Thanks for asking. I've already been castrated, and the Qing Dynasty is gone.
Sima Qian, Zheng He, Zhao Gao: That's rough, but you've got us beat.
After a few videos, Ye Xiaozhi discovers that her livestream is wildly popular. Viewers keep discussing things with her and boosting her popularity. She was already a history buff, and as she chats with her fans, she finds that their questions are more in-depth than the last.
Wait, something's not right. My fans all seem to be ancient people.
Coming soon: After I Livestream in the Celestial Realm, the Gods Give Up
Shi Qing accidentally transmigrates to the Celestial Realm, bringing along a livestream System.
It turns out this useless System can't be used in the human world, only in the Celestial Realm. Shi Qing thinks, I'm a streamer who managed to thrive in an era where everyone is obsessed with outdoing each other. How could I fail to win over a bunch of little loaches like you?
Rain God: I want to see what strange thing you can come up with.
Shi Qing: Today, we're going to explain artificial rainmaking.
Rain God: ???
The immortals: So what, it just makes rain. The Rain God isn't all that impressive. What else have you got?
Shi Qing: Today, I'll introduce the subway, airplanes, and submarines. Human beings can fly through the sky, travel underground, and dive beneath the sea with the help of technology.
The immortals: ???
As the livestream goes on, the various gods start giving up. If humans can fly without training at all, why should we bother? We can just wait for the times to change.
Later, an utterly stubborn god arrives. Deeply distressed by the entire Celestial Realm giving up, he decides to change things. This has a huge impact on Shi Qing's livestream earnings, too.
The livestream System suggests: Host, this person has an extraordinary bone structure and remarkable talent. You could win him over.
Shi Qing: How?
Livestream System: Make him your believer.
Shi Qing: Got it.
He steps forward, faces his nemesis Cheng Gu, bows, and pulls out a business card. “Hello. Would you be interested in joining our Cult of Giving Up?”
System: ???
Cheng Gu: ???
