Livestreaming Everyday Life to the Ancients

[Updated daily at 5 p.m. Other edits and typo fixes may be made at other times.] At sixteen or seventeen, Xue Jiao fretted over her schoolwork and worried about the college entrance exams. The various romance and Mary Sue transmigration novels hidden at the bottom of her desk were the only color in her grueling student life. She dreamed of transmigrating to ancient times, where she wouldn't have to study or take exams. She could be a freewheeling heroine of the martial world and have a sweeping romance with a prince or a young swordsman. She got her wish. She transmigrated as she had hoped, met the handsome and dashing heir to Prince Qi, and fell in love with him just as she'd dreamed. At twenty, Xue Jiao was the madwoman of Prince Qi's household, a woman with no known background who spent her days babbling nonsense. She said: I don't hate school anymore. I'll study hard. Teacher, I can recite the textbook now! What a joke. Women didn't go to school. She said: I'm sorry, Zhen'er. I shouldn't have given birth to you here. What a joke. Liang Zhen was Prince Qi's legitimate daughter, with a status of the utmost nobility. If Xue hadn't been so greedy and exhausted Prince Qi's patience, Liang Zhen would have remained honored forever. She said: Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. I want to go home. What a joke. Everyone knew Xue Jiao was an orphan Prince Qi had picked up. He'd insisted on marrying her as his consort, so how could she have a home? Until one day, Xue Jiao heard a voice say: Do you want to go home? I can send you back. Reader's Guide: * A heroine who grows over time; she's not perfect. * A fictional ancient society, not a historical Chinese dynasty. Please don't nitpick the history. * A livestream story with lots of viewer comments. * No handing over modern knowledge or technology to the authorities. * There is a romance plot. * As the title suggests, this is a slow-paced slice-of-life story. * I don't delete comments from legitimate readers, and I never have. If your comment disappears, check the backend. It will show who deleted it. * I'll add more if I think of anything. Here's a recommendation for my upcoming novel, Back to My Grandma's Youth [A Period Piece]. Click into my author page to add it to your collection. Ji Mingsui was a grandma's girl. Orphaned at a young age, she was raised by her grandmother. In Ji Mingsui's eyes, her grandmother was an all-powerful superhero. She could help with homework and chase away the hoodlums who bullied them. Her grandmother could cook anything she wanted, and with a piece of cloth and a few turns of the sewing machine, Ji Mingsui would have the prettiest little dress to wear. It didn't matter that she had no parents. She had a grandmother who loved her more than anything. One day, Ji Mingsui transmigrated several decades into the past, to an era of shortages and hardship. Having never known a day of suffering, she nearly burst into tears. Her silly golden finger was practically useless. She'd just arrived when she ran into human traffickers. After finally helping the authorities bring down the gang, Ji Mingsui escaped, only to find herself with nowhere to go. She counted it out on her fingers: this was the year before her parents were born, and her grandmother was only in her teens, still a beautiful young girl in the prime of her youth. Grandma! Her all-powerful grandma! Your granddaughter is here to seek refuge! Following her memories, Ji Mingsui found her grandmother's hometown. There she saw that familiar, youthful face, smooth and innocent without a single wrinkle. Seeing the frail girl being shoved and bullied, Ji Mingsui, who had been protected by her grandmother since childhood, grabbed a rock and charged forward. Theme: No matter what difficulties you face, never give up learning.
