Introduction to "Through the Looking Glass: A Record of Twins in the Republic of China"
Archaeologist Shen Yanqing accidentally triggered the bronze compass on a rainy night in Mangshan and traveled to the 1937 Songhu battlefield. The broken compass fragments conceal time and space codes, closely connecting him with the fate of military agent Gu Yanchen and cheongsam designer Su Manli. In order to prevent the Japanese special high school from using the compass to activate the "space-time weapon", the three of them fought side by side in the smoke of the Sihang Warehouse, deciphered the cheongsam secret messages in the dark alleys of the French Concession, and even uncovered the ultimate conspiracy of "twin mirrors" at the Purple Mountain Observatory. When the bronze star map resonates with the silver thread embroidery, the gap between history and the future gradually closes, and the secrets hidden in the buckles, silver locks, and bronze tripods will eventually spell out a road to redemption across time and space in the bloody cheongsam and war roses.
