[Pseudo-Historical Live Broadcast] A Roll Call of History's Greatest Women

[Frequent revisions at irregular intervals]

Life is cruel and brilliant, history is blind yet clear-eyed. Every hardship is bitter, and every life is different.

This is not real history! This is not real history! This is not real history!

I've recently watched a lot of history livestreams and wanted to make one of my own, as historical fanfiction.

Each volume takes place in a new timeline. The historical setting for each character is based on real history, and no one gets a perfectly happy life.

[Great Ming] Princess Who Guards the Nation

"With letters, she could govern the world; with arms, she could secure the realm. She shored up a great dynasty on the verge of collapse and saved a nation whose fortunes had been crumbling for a century."

Of all Zhu Di's many descendants, the one most like him and most outstanding was neither Ming Renzong Zhu Gaochi, nor Prince of Gaoyang Zhu Gaoxu, nor Ming Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, famed as the "Good Holy Grandson." It was his eldest granddaughter, Zhu Qinghe, later condemned by a shortsighted man as a "disruptor of the imperial court who had utterly cast off feminine virtue."

[Wei and Jin] Sage of Letters, Saint of Reason

"Forty-three years of bitter tears forged the name of a saintly woman for the ages."

She lamented the chaos of the Eight Princes and the Five Barbarians, and mourned the wild spirit of the Wei and Jin literati. Born a daughter of an aristocratic family, her heart belonged to the common people. She never married, vowing not to rest until she found a way to restore the world to Han rule. For forty-three years, she devoted herself heart and soul, defied all convention, railed against the frivolous and unrestrained hermits of the Wei and Jin era, founded her own school of thought, and changed the course of Chinese intellectual history...

[Qing] Words That Shook the World

An extraordinary woman in a dying age, a twin blossom of literature and science. She defied convention and shocked the world, laughing at the countless men she considered beneath notice. Some say that during the entire Qianlong era, only two great figures stood against their times. One was Wang Zhenyi, whose name was etched into the stars. The other was the woman who wrote one of the "Five Great Classics."

[Northern Song] Warrior-Empress

She was the first emperor to kneel before the people, the first emperor to revive a divided regime, and the first empress to ascend the throne as a princess.

Historians mark the Song dynasty's division at her reign: before her was the Southern Song; after her, the Northern Song.

The souls of women across a thousand years, and the what-ifs of history.

* There are no conventional happy or bad endings, only true endings.

* Most protagonists marry because of the limitations of their times, but marriage is only background, not the focus.

* The satisfying justice of good being rewarded and evil punished may not happen. The protagonist is not right at every turn, and those who are not transmigrators cannot see the future. The world is chaotic.

* The sky screen speaks from the perspective of later generations in the "changed world." For example, in some timelines, the calendar's Year One may become 221 BC, when Qin Shi Huang unified China.

* The author's historical knowledge is limited. History has countless people and countless perspectives, so it's impossible to please everyone. Please discuss rationally. Extremists of all kinds are not welcome.

* If you don't know something, then I made it up.

* I made the cover myself, and I'll draw character cards.
