Tales from the Countryside

This epic-length novel blends science fiction and cultivation, building a multidimensional universe spanning three hundred years around the central mystery of a closed time loop. The story follows a group of "time prisoners" chosen by fate, struggling to survive within the rifts in time and space, only to discover that they are pawns on the board of higher-dimensional observers.

Central Conflict

Three hundred years ago, the guardians of time and space sealed their consciousness inside a baby to prevent the collapse of the universe. When the seal is lifted, the baby's cry becomes the fulcrum that can shift the course of time and space. As a bronze well platform emerges, the fates of the seven main characters intertwine across different eras: the scar behind Lin Yu's ear connects to the moment a female corpse comes back to life; Xiao Feng's Dragon-Slaying Sword bears a code forged through time and space; Er Niu's wine gourd conceals the secrets of a mass grave; Yu Xuan's bronze cauldron reflects the future of the Netherworld; Cang Lan's staff seals the curse of the Nine Luminaries star chart; and Xiao Zhang's chip holds the core code of the Time Management Bureau.
