From Emperor Qin to Emperor Qing, I Never Changed History

My name is Chen Guanshi, an ordinary history student. I used to think that history was just cold words in books, predetermined endings, and distant stories. Until that day, I touched a piece of mysterious ancient jade and accidentally unlocked the ability to defy the heavens—— Collect all the ancient artifacts and travel through time and space. I can personally step into the long river of history, become a mortal, and walk into every real period. Watch the Qin Emperor sweep Liuhe, watch the Han Dynasty conquer the Xiongnu, listen to the sound of bells and drums in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and weep at the destruction of the mountains and rivers in the late Ming Dynasty. I can stand within easy reach of the emperors and see clearly their brilliance, suspicion, loneliness and despair. But there is the cruelest rule locked in me: You can only participate, not change. Knowing that rise and fall cannot be reversed. Knowing life and death, I can't reach out. Knowing that he is loyal and traitorous, he cannot speak out. I am a witness to history and also the most helpless bystander. From the accession of the First Emperor to the abdication of the Qing Emperor, Four hundred and ninety-four emperors, two thousand one hundred and thirty-two years of Chinese history. I have traveled to all dynasties and witnessed all their rise and fall. And from beginning to end—— I never changed history.
