"I Was a Social Animal in the Tang Dynasty" tells the bizarre experience of Zhang Xiaoma, an employee of an Internet company in Beijing. Twenty-eight-year-old Zhang Xiaoma has been working as a content operator at "Yunfan Technology" for five years, running around KPIs every day, but was accidentally laid off during the wave of industry layoffs. Confused, he encountered an emergency stop on the subway, and when he woke up, he traveled to the labor market of Longle City in the Tang Dynasty. From a modern city with many high-rise buildings to an ancient market full of sand and strange smells, Zhang Xiaoma, dressed in inappropriate clothes, started a new life that spans time and space.
