While sorting through his grandfather's belongings, Tian Xingzhi came across a bronze pocket watch engraved with the words “Reverse Time.”
The instant his fingertips touched it, space and time shattered!
When he opened his eyes again...
A Mo Dao blade was swinging down at his face! Warhorses cried in agony! Hot, bloody pulp splattered across his face!
He had landed right in the heart of the Xuanwu Gate Incident of the Tang dynasty!
Corpses piled high, battle cries shook the heavens! Tian Xingzhi desperately dodged a heavy blade, only to crash into a pair of eyes colder than ice!
The Heavenly Strategy General Li Shimin, clad in bloodstained bright armor, had locked onto him, an “anomaly,” across a thousand years of time!
“Traitor! Die!”
Thwack! A cold armor-piercing arrow instantly pierced his left side!
On the brink of death, he clutched the pocket watch and fought his way back to his modern-day rental apartment.
His side throbbed with unbearable pain, blood soaking through his clothes. This wasn't a dream! The arrow wound was real!
He thought he'd escaped with his life, but the real horror was only just beginning...
“Mr. Tian, please explain this!”
In the emergency room, the doctor pointed at the X-ray and demanded, his voice trembling:
“Why is there an arrowhead used exclusively by Tang dynasty soldiers embedded in your rib?!”
“And why did the tests find anaerobic bacteria dating back thirteen hundred years?!”
History had seen him! It had even shot him with an arrow!
And every turn of the Reverse Time pocket watch was quietly exacting the “price” so discreetly described in his grandfather's notebook.
When a modern X-ray revealed an arrow wound from a thousand years ago, and history's gaze pierced the barriers of time and space,
Tian Xingzhi held a device that could reverse time, only to discover that he had long been an ant beneath history's turning wheel!
Would he become a ghost of time, barely surviving in the cracks of history?
[Reverse Time device activated. Temporal rewind commencing! How will history change this time?]
