Having turned down every position with an up-or-out policy, newly minted history PhD Zhao Qinghe is about to face the dilemma of graduating straight into unemployment.
Should she compromise and take a postdoctoral teaching position at a 985 university with an up-or-out policy, or become an unremarkable but overworked lecturer at a non-211, non-985 university? That is the question.
After getting caught in indecision for the 101st time, Zhao Qinghe accepted a third option.
She transmigrated to an unheard-of interstellar world and got bound to a history livestream System. Her mission was to livestream ancient Chinese history for interstellar viewers living in a historical wasteland.
The System said it could directly access video footage from the ancient Earth era for the livestream. Zhao Qinghe only had to shape the content and pacing of her streams according to viewer feedback.
Zhao Qinghe: ?????? This kind of good fortune actually exists? I don’t even have to edit the videos?
And so, Zhao Qinghe quickly became the top-ranked history livestreamer on the Star Network and launched a thriving career among the stars. After her channel exploded in popularity, the platform gave her livestream room the name “Our History.”
“What the heck?” Zhao Qinghe stared at the crowds filling the streets, with multicolored skin and elf ears, lost in thought. “Wake up! That’s not your history!”
