After Videos Reached Ancient Times, Emperors Started Drawing Blind Boxes

[This story is complete. Thank you all for enjoying it! My new story next door, I Became the Teacher of Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han, is opening soon. Add it to your favorites if you're interested!]

After three years as a homeroom teacher, Ning Wan fell into a coma and was bound to a System. She was transported to a parallel timeline, where she became the teacher of Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng, Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che, and Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin.

Ning Wan: ?

You've got to be kidding me. What could I possibly teach these ancestors???

System: Music!

Ning Wan: Li Shimin is already great at music!!

System: ...Art.

Ning Wan: Emperor Huizong of Song is right here too!!

System: ...Physical education.

Ning Wan looked at Yue Fei, Huo Qubing, and Cheng Yaojin before her.

Ning Wan: Do you ever say anything that makes sense...

At first, when the emperors of different dynasties appeared in a strange space, they were all wary and suspicious.

But as they completed group projects and final exams, and received one useful gift after another that benefited their countries and people...

The emperors: Don't stop me!! I want to study!! I want to go to class!!

Story blurb

Ye Wan was a fan of unofficial histories. After finishing work one day, she opened her phone and found a strange app called System Polling that had appeared out of nowhere and couldn't be uninstalled. When she opened it, the app was completely blank. Only when she tried to exit did a dialogue box appear, saying: Upload any video and ask the various dynasties a question related to it.

Ye Wan: ? What does that mean? Is my phone infected? Why is everything in Chinese? I can read the characters, but I don't understand them together.

She couldn't uninstall the app, and even restarting her phone didn't help. At a loss, Ye Wan uploaded a travel vlog she'd filmed in Xi'an and entered a question.

Multiple choice:

[After Qin Shi Huang unified the six states, people in all six tried to restore their kingdoms. But after the Qin dynasty fell under its second emperor, why did none of the people of Qin want to restore their dynasty?]

1. The second Qin emperor was cruel and self-indulgent, so the people saw the new ruler as a savior and didn't want to restore the old dynasty.

2. Because Emperor Gaozu of Han was the son of a dragon.

3. The Qin suppressed the power of the royal clans, stripping members of the Qin royal family of their titles and turning them into commoners.

4. The Qin dynasty lasted only fourteen years, too briefly for its people to feel any sense of belonging.

Ye Wan finally managed to exit the app normally and breathed a sigh of relief. What she didn't know was that her video had already been sent to every dynasty. First, they saw men and women in strange clothes walking down the streets. Then they saw all kinds of delicious foods and entertainment. Most important of all, they saw countless terracotta figures!!!

Ying Zheng: Who can tell me what she just said? The Qin dynasty fell under its second emperor? Could my Great Qin really have lasted for only two emperors?!

Liu Bang: Hahahaha, this is interesting. Everyone in later generations knows I'm the son of a dragon.

Liu Che: I knew it! Immortals really exist!

Li Shimin: I thought the people of my Great Tang lived in an age of great prosperity, but later generations are unbelievably extravagant.

Yang Jian, Li Zhi, Zhao Kuangyin, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and the emperors of other dynasties all watched the video before them and made their choices when it ended.

When Ye Wan's answers were revealed, the three dynasties with the highest accuracy each received a box, setting them on the path of opening mystery boxes...

Reader's Notes

1. Ye Wan has no romance plot.

2. The author is not a professional historian. The research comes from history books and the internet, and isn't meant to stand up to intense scrutiny.

3. Everyone has their own preferences, including the author.

4. The dynasties in the story are parallel versions of the real world.
