[The protagonist is changed to Li Si; everything else stays the same. The ruler and his ministers work together to build a thriving nation.]
Li Si had recently discovered a mysterious livestream.
The streamer always talked about history late at night, and the viewers all used the names of emperors and ministers from different dynasties. It was like a huge online cosplay event. One viewer, "First Emperor Ying Zheng," got especially into character, saying "My Great Qin" every other sentence.
To play along, Li Si changed his username to "Chancellor of Great Qin."
One night, the streamer talked about Qin history, focusing on "Ying Zheng's coffin was packed with stinking fish," and described the grim state of the First Emperor's body after his death.
"First Emperor Ying Zheng" furiously spammed hundreds of question marks, and was eventually muted for flooding the chat. The other viewers were delighted, and Li Si joined in, laughing as boisterously as anyone.
After watching the stream, Li Si went to bed as usual. But when he woke up, he was in the Qin Dynasty.
A young servant respectfully asked beside him, "Lord Commandant of Justice, would you like to get up?"
Oh no. He really had become Li Si!
The Li Si who was executed by being cut in half!
Luckily, it was the twenty-sixth year of the First Emperor's reign, or 221 BCE. The First Emperor had just unified the six states, offered sacrifices to Heaven, and declared himself emperor. He still had twelve whole years before his sudden death.
In other words, Li Si still had time to pack up and run.
After finally accepting reality, Li Si learned his lesson and decided to submit a resignation immediately and go home.
But as luck would have it, an oral decree from the First Emperor arrived from the palace, summoning the Commandant of Justice, Li Si, at once.
Trembling with fear, Li Si entered the palace and bowed. When he looked up, he saw the First Emperor wearing a murderous expression. With a cold laugh, the emperor pushed a bowl of braised abalone toward him.
"Do you enjoy eating abalone, my minister?"
Li Si: I'm doomed!!!
I woke up as Li Si,
with my boss having been spoiled by a livestream. Watch me fight for survival by the skin of my teeth!
