"Recasting History: Counterattack in Parallel Time and Space"
Lin Yan, a graduate student in the Department of Modern History, touched a bronze mirror engraved with strange patterns, and his soul traveled to the Dasheng Dynasty, which was highly similar to the Song Dynasty, and became the harshly treated concubine of the household minister's family. The original person was cowardly and died young, but with modern knowledge and the vague precognitive ability given by the bronze mirror fragments, he must survive the vicious plot of his aunt and the strife of his family.
This is an era when civil servants are in power but stifle arithmetic and agriculture, and business is prosperous but technology is stagnant. The wolves in the north are eyeing the country with their mysterious iron-making skills, and the border wars have been raging for years. What's even more secret is that the bronze mirror contains the remnants of the chaos caused by the time traveler a hundred years ago - the pioneer who was eager for quick success and quick gains implemented changes, which eventually led to the dynasty's turmoil, leaving behind a mess of calendar tampering and technological faults.
Lin Yan must not only use modern wisdom to break the situation: improve farm tools, promote new grains, reinvent movable type printing, take the wrong path in the imperial examination, and be successful every step of the way in the court; he must also uncover the secret of the bronze mirror, correct the distorted historical trajectory, and in the process of rescuing his birth mother and resisting foreign aggression, he must understand an ultimate question: Is the mission of the time traveler to subvert the world, or to follow the trend?
When a personal counterattack intertwines with the fate of a dynasty, and when modern knowledge collides with ancient rules, he will eventually recast his own history in this familiar time and space.
