Transmigrating Through Ancient Books, Living History

What reaches the fingertips is no ink, but the bloodline of history in motion.

Mu Mu, a top restorer of ancient books, is swept into the roar of a loom in Ming Dynasty Suzhou the instant she touches a fragment of The Exploitation of the Works of Nature.

She discovers that ancient books are living gateways to the past.

A mysterious force is frantically altering their pages.

The farming techniques in Essential Techniques for the Common People are erased, and ten thousand mu of fertile fields wither overnight in the real world.

The Book of Tea is torn apart, and a thousand years of tea culture vanishes from everyone's memory.

She travels through the lines of text to restore intangible cultural heritage and set history right, but while investigating the truth behind her father's disappearance, she becomes caught up in a thousand-year struggle between the keepers of secrets and those rewriting history.

Only when a blood-red note appears in the margin of The Travel Diaries of Xu Xiake, reading, “Those who have transmigrated must go no further,” does Mu Mu understand: What she has risked her life to protect is not merely the civilization buried in old books, but the final line of defense for the survival of the real world.
