Lu Zhao of the Time Administration has an ancient time beast, Zhulong, sealed in his right eye. It lets him glimpse three seconds into the future, but every use accelerates his aging. While pursuing criminals who stole time sand, he runs into Jiang Li of the New Era, a girl whose mechanical left arm can freeze time and space. Faced with Jiang Li, his former comrade-in-arms, what will Lu Zhao do? Stranger still, the ancient jade pendant from Penglai swaying at Jiang Li’s neck resonates with Lu Zhao’s shattered memories.
When ancient inscriptions on Jiang Li’s mechanical arm reveal the prophecy that keeps recurring in Lu Zhao’s dreams, the two are forced onto a perilous path in search of lost Penglai. The bronze compass “Qingfu” yields encrypted data from the Ming dynasty, while the Time Administration’s top-secret archives reveal that the last time Zhulong went on a rampage was during the blood-red lunar eclipse of the third year of the Wanli reign.
In different timelines, there is an organization devoted to studying the power of time and space. They are collectively known as the “Relic Seekers.”
