About This Novel

A Tang Dynasty treasure that has been passed down in the family for thousands of years allows young archaeologist Shen Huaishang to unexpectedly step into Chang'an, the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The poems in the textbooks and the prosperous times in the history books in the past have now turned into the prosperity that is within reach: Zhuque Street is full of cars and horses, Qujiang Spring Banquet is noisy with silk and bamboo, Li Bai is drunkenly singing, Du Fu is sighing, Xuanzong and Yang Guifei are incomparable magnificence. However, behind the prosperity lies a shadow. As a child of the Shen family in Yushitai, Huaishang had to make a choice between the dreams of a prosperous age and the turmoil of troubled times: should he settle for a career in the imperial examination, or should he uncover the secrets behind his family's inheritance? Is it a love affair with a lady that spans thousands of years, or is it a personal experience of the blood and fire of the Anshi Rebellion? He is both a spectator of history and a witness of destiny. Pages and reality intertwined before his eyes. Poems and swords, love and separation were no longer words, but living breaths. This is the story of an archaeologist dreaming back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty: he witnessed the prosperity of Chang'an, but also faced the decline of the dynasty; what he wanted to protect was not only family and love, but also the glory of the prosperous age that was destined to be engraved in history.
