Synopsis

Historical Retrospective Livestream + Dramatized Storytelling + Artifact Seal-and-Pot Couple + The Narrator Knows the Truth!

Have you ever wondered?

The page you casually flip open holds an entire life of sweeping highs and lows.

Have you ever wondered?

Some people’s lifelong scars and shattered roof tiles are reduced to a fleeting glance as you pass by.

The long-lost Imperial Jade Seal, imbued with a spirit and defiled by its own aura, was actually snatched away in a sack by foreigners a century ago and taken to the British Museum! After taking human form, Bai Xi keeps stirring up the river of time in order to save those lost Chinese artifacts, all so that one day her kin can return home with their heads held high.

The sky screen opens, and the lecture begins. A spark illuminates all thirteen prefectures.

So what are the regrets that weigh on China’s heart?

The sage, Master Kong, who traveled among the states and weathered the vicissitudes of life.

The Lord of Martial Peace, who never knew defeat yet was doomed to die.

Qin Shi Huang, the emperor for the ages, dying at Sand Dune as salted fish masked the stench.

A generation’s military genius, brutally killed before the palace gates. The conqueror who sealed the wolf at Mount Xu, dead in his prime.

An ideal scattered by the autumn winds at Wuzhang Plains. The Xuanwu Gate Incident, brothers turning against each other.

The sorrow of a people’s hardships. The founding emperor whose great enterprise was cut short before it was half complete.

“Without my grandmother, I would not have made it to this day. Without me, my grandmother would have no one to see her through her remaining years.”

“There was a loquat tree in the courtyard. Now it stands tall, its crown like a canopy.”

The lament, “Alas, my hair has turned white,” as someone pounds the railing again and again, with no one paying heed.

An empire on the brink of collapse: “I am no prime minister, I am the regent.”

Ceding territory and paying reparations: “I didn’t sign my name, I signed myself into history’s eternal shame.”

When emperors and generals fell silent, Bai Xi put on The Age of Awakening once more.

All people of ancient times, rise and watch the stars of China’s later generations shine bright.

Ancestors: “You little brats, you’ve got us in tears!”
