Lin Fan, a graduate student in the Department of History, originally thought that his life would be buried in old papers. However, after an accident, his life was completely overturned from the moment he was forcibly bound to a mysterious system called "Hongmeng". There is no warm transition, no novice benefits, only cold tasks and cruel punishment - crossing is hell, failure is obliteration.
His mission is to step into the most magnificent nodes in Chinese history, to witness, participate, and ensure that those well-known major events happen as scheduled. From the war in the late Yuan Dynasty to the glory of the Tang Dynasty, he thought this was just a passive survival game.
However, Lin Fan soon discovered that under the wheel of history, there were countless pairs of "black hands" trying to reverse its direction. They were lurking in the dark, carefully weaving one shocking conspiracy after another, intending to lead China's destiny into an unknown abyss. The fire of Chibi failed to ignite, and the emperor of Tumubao disappeared mysteriously... The trajectory of history is being quietly tampered with.
From a chess piece forced to protect himself to a chess player, Lin Fan began to use his knowledge beyond the times to start a time and space game that spanned thousands of years with the mastermind behind the scenes.
This is the ultimate race for the survival of civilization. Can Lin Fan uncover the ultimate secrets hidden behind the system and villains in life and death tests? Can he find the only way to survive between protecting history and creating the future?
The answer lies in every step he takes. To protect the past is to create the future.
