Chronicles of Time and Space Encounters: The Four Great Beauties

This novel weaves together transmigration through history and fantasy. It tells the story of Lin Shen, a graduate student in history who accidentally acquires a bronze beauty mirror. Whenever he touches its surface, he is transported to the moments of crisis in the lives of the Four Great Beauties: Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan, and Yang Yuhuan. Using his modern knowledge, he resolves their troubles, but gradually becomes entangled in the power struggles behind their beauty schemes: Xi Shi's national tragedy and the parasitic worm implanted in her, the cultural conflict surrounding Wang Zhaojun's marriage to the Xiongnu, Diao Chan's awakening and struggle against a life spent as a pawn, and Yang Yuhuan's life-or-death choices during the An Lushan Rebellion. As Lin Shen collects four jade tokens, he discovers that the bronze mirror hides a secret about the Temporal Administration: the Four Great Beauties are actually four reincarnations of the same soul. After gathering all the tokens, he chooses to stay in ancient times to protect the cycle of reincarnation. Then the mirror suddenly reveals the true identity of a modern museum curator, while a mysterious text message from before the Common Era unlocks the ultimate puzzle of the mirror's game…
