Across the vast river of time, Chinese civilization is like a tapestry woven from interlacing threads, with hidden mysteries at every turning point in history. When modern technology collides with ancient arcane arts, and individual destinies intertwine with the rise and fall of nations, a temporal mystery spanning five thousand years unfolds…
Inspired by the classic narrative framework of the Back to the Future trilogy, this book blends Chinese mythology, historical events, and science fiction. Lin Mo, a young engineer fascinated by ancient astronomy, accidentally discovers that his family's ancestral bronze armillary sphere is a core component of a time machine. To uncover the truth behind his father's disappearance, he joins forces with Su Jiuli, a brilliant physicist, and Jiang Xuanyin, a mysterious antiques restorer. Together, they travel through time to the Bronze Age of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Chang'an at the height of the Tang dynasty, the turbulent Republic of China era, and a cyberpunk city of the future. As they mend rifts in history, they uncover the hidden “Law of Temporal Conservation” of Huaxia civilization and face a profound human dilemma: if they change the past, will they destroy the future?
