Great Tang: Princess Sizi’s Modern-Day Adventure

One morning in 2025, a wealthy brother and sister are playing on the rooftop of their family estate when they unexpectedly meet Princess Jinyang, the young daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang, who has transmigrated across time. Her nickname is Sizi. This encounter, like the flutter of a butterfly’s wings, quietly changes the course of Empress Zhangsun’s life and those of several princesses of the Tang dynasty.

The kindhearted siblings decide to use modern knowledge and resources to provide the Tang dynasty with weapon blueprints and engineering technology far beyond its time. With this advanced support, the Tang army’s strength soars and the nation grows ever more powerful. The siblings later help devise military strategy, assisting the Tang dynasty in marching east and decisively conquering Japan.

In return, and to continue their bond, the siblings travel through time with Sizi and the other princes and princesses to the modern world a thousand years later. Having never seen skyscrapers, cars, or electronic screens, the royal children are astonished. They explore the city, ride the subway, visit amusement parks and science museums, and discover fashionable clothes in shopping malls. One amusing incident follows another: the princes try to summon their guards with mobile phones, while the princesses exclaim in wonder at automatic doors. The siblings patiently guide them along the way, explaining how modern society works.

This meeting across a thousand years not only changes the course of history in part, but also creates a unique, joyful memory through the exchange between two eras. The clash of ancient and modern ideas ultimately becomes a warm and radiant chapter in everyone’s heart.
