Li Shimin, the founder of the Zhenguan rule in the Tang Dynasty, was stripped of his memory and divine power due to an ancient prophecy involving "imbalance of destiny" and an agreement with a deceased woman. He was born in the modern city under the name "Li Er", leaving only a vague obsession with "a certain kind of warmth". In the early stage, he retained the acumen, decisiveness and instinctive pursuit of order of the emperor, but he knew nothing about modern rules (technology, human relations, law) and often appeared clumsy; in the later stage, he gradually lost his hegemonic thinking and learned equality and empathy during the search. Core contradiction: Li Shimin's vague memory of the "favorite person" collides with the reality of modern society; the split in self-perception as a "historical symbol" and "ordinary Li Er". In the fantasy whirlpool of the collision of ancient and modern times, the novel explores the dialectic of "eternity" and "moment" - Li Shimin, who once owned thousands of miles of land, has lost his aura as an emperor, and in the glitz and alienation of modern cities, he re-understands the nature of "favorite": it has nothing to do with power, identity or time and space, but the resonance between souls and souls passing through disguises in the torrent of time. The story uses suspense as a thread to connect individuals' eternal pursuit of "belonging", revealing that true "possession" lies not in possession, but in understanding; true "immortality" does not lie in the throne, but in the temperature of being remembered...
