Li Yi is an ordinary IT engineer whose favorite way to unwind is watching funny videos. One day, he downloads a mysterious app called “Time Hopper,” thinking he'll just have a look. Instead, he accidentally triggers a bizarre journey through time and space. Sucked into a vortex on his computer screen, he ends up in an ancient imperial court, where people mistake him for a mysterious messenger from the future.
To save his own skin, Li Yi puts his quick wit and humor to work, bragging in front of the emperor and his court. He makes up all kinds of modern “high tech,” from phones and the internet to self-heating hot pot. He fools the emperor into becoming fascinated by the world of the “future,” and the emperor even plans to have Li Yi demonstrate these “miracles.”
But this is only the beginning of Li Yi's fantastic adventures. As he navigates the political power struggles of an ancient dynasty, he discovers that the computer can take him not only to the past, but also to different eras. Together with the emperor, he embarks on a hilarious adventure through time and across the globe: from ancient Egypt to the Industrial Revolution, and from modern cities to futuristic technology. Every era is full of unbelievable challenges and laughs.
