The moment Bao Sisi opened her eyes, she was selected for a full-dive game's beta test.
The game was basically a full-dive version of "If You're My Brother, Come Kill Me."
Its marketing claimed it was about the legends of Eastern Zhou, but the actual setting was the end of Western Zhou. It seemed to be selling one thing and delivering another.
Her character had a high status but not a shred of power, and the game guidance was about as useful as an old man pointing the way at the village entrance.
Her assigned teammates nearly mistook friend for foe, too.
Most importantly, there was no way to quit midway.
Luckily, Bao Sisi was an optimist.
She put up with all of it.
As it turned out, if you were willing to put up with things, this awful game would keep finding endless new ways to make your life miserable.
.
After going through countless hardships, Bao Sisi finally reunited with a fellow hometown native.
Meeting a fellow countryman brought tears to their eyes.
The other person joined Bao Sisi in cursing the awful game.
Bao Sisi: By the way, what did you come to the palace for?
Fellow countryman: Didn't they say Western Zhou fell because King You of Zhou lit the beacon fires to fool the feudal lords? I came to kill Bao Si so Eastern Zhou wouldn't happen, and then this game called "Legends of Eastern Zhou" wouldn't exist. By the way, do you know where Bao Si is?
Bao Sisi: ...
Your logic makes a lot of sense, fellow countryman, but I'm Bao Si, so that won't work.
#The Misadventures of Two History-Challenged Gamers#
.
1. A shoddy game set against the backdrop of the Zhou dynasty. It isn't the actual Zhou dynasty, and it makes no effort at historical accuracy. Even the roof figurines are Hello Kitty.
2. The story's ceiling is determined by the author's abilities, so please bear with me.

As far back as Dan Hong could remember, her mother had told her: "We're a family of officials. Our clan was punished, so we were exiled to this bitter, war-torn land."
Again and again, she reminded her daughter never to forget who she was. She had to return to the imperial capital, to that place of song and dance, and put on the fine clothes that had always been rightfully hers.
Dan Hong trampled on one sincere heart after another, finally reaching the position she had dreamed of.
Then a large hand, covered in old and new scars, suddenly seized her, still dressed in her wedding gown.
The fool from the dust of the frontier, whom Dan Hong had deceived time and again, stared at her, his eyes full of resentment and grief.
In the harshest voice, he made the most humble plea: "I can give you everything you want now. Come with me."

The emperor had been in a foul mood lately.
Every day, someone was impeaching his personally appointed General Wei and the top scholar he had selected for brawling in the street.
Then one day at court, a censor accused General Wei of violating curfew by appearing near Yong'an Alley at midnight the previous night.
The top scholar and General Wei immediately came to blows right there in court.
Only later did His Majesty learn that the top scholar's fiancée lived in Yong'an Alley. By then, however, she had already become the general's wife.
