Zhou Song'an, a part-time fortune-teller, received a strange divination request.
A client with the username [Ying Zheng] asked, "Will my Great Qin last for ten thousand generations?"
Zhou Song'an replied, "No. The Qin dynasty fell in its second generation, after fourteen years."
[Ying Zheng] asked again, "Why did it fall in the second generation?"
Zhou Song'an said, "Because Qin Shi Huang never bought my health supplements."
A flash of golden light, and Zhou Song'an found himself standing atop a towering mountain, facing the officials of the Qin dynasty, all dressed in black.
The First Emperor, wearing a ceremonial crown with hanging beads, gazed at him solemnly.
Zhou Song'an: "...I am the disciple of the Lord of Mount Tai. I have a bottle of immortal vitamin C to offer Your Majesty!"
After that, Zhou Song'an received more and more strange requests, and earned more and more generous rewards.
A user named [Liu Che] asked, "Will the Han army triumph in its campaign beyond the northern frontier?"
A user named [Li Shimin] asked, "Are my elder brother and I really destined to fight to the death?"
A user named [Zhu Di] asked, "Where did my nephew go?"
Since Zhou Song'an couldn't reply to messages while traveling through the various dynasties to take requests, he simply made a group chat for his clients so they could share information.
[Zhu Yuanzhang]: Wait, Zhu Di, why are you in this group too?
[Zhu Yuanzhang]: What do you mean by "missing person notice"? What happened to Yunwen?
World One: National Preceptor of Great Qin. The First Emperor gets stronger and healthier, and our Great Qin's technology is number one in the world!
World Two: National Preceptor of the Han. Con artists compete for the job of court alchemist. How did our expedition to Langjuxu Mountain turn into one to Lake Baikal?
World Three: National Preceptor of the Tang. Taizong and everyone at the Lingyan Pavilion get physicals. Why is there a European vibe in Xuanzang's Record of the Western Regions?
World Four: National Preceptor of the Ming. His nephew goes missing in Nanjing, and his elder brother goes missing among the Oirats. The missing-person hunt gets watched by dynasties across history.
Reader's Guide:
The male lead is a wisecracking goofball. A silly story about building a strong nation.
Theme: I stand at the eye of the storm, gripping the sun and moon as they turn.
