The Loulan Code: The Twin Fish Jade Pendant and the Space-Time of Lop Nur

In 1980, the renowned scientist Peng Jiamu mysteriously disappeared in Lop Nur, becoming the greatest unsolved case in the history of the People's Republic of China. Forty-five years later, Lin Tianyu, the “useless” researcher at the Institute of Archaeology, discovers an earth-shattering secret among his grandfather's belongings: he is Peng Jiamu's grandson!

A mysterious twin-fish jade pendant and a coded expedition diary draw Lin Tianyu into a shocking conspiracy spanning time and space. Mocked by colleagues, suppressed by his superiors, and hunted across the internet, he activates the pendant's power in his darkest hour and opens a time-space portal to the ancient kingdom of Loulan.

Deep in Lop Nur lie the vanished Loulan civilization, a bizarre time-space device, and the ultimate secret Peng Jiamu left behind. Outside forces, mercenary groups, and the mysterious Time-Space Administration all emerge to fight to the death over the twin-fish jade pendant. When Lin Tianyu encounters a still “living” Peng Jiamu amid fragments of time and space, when he discovers that Loulan's destruction stemmed from a time paradox, when a version of “himself” from the future appears before him... the truth is far more cruel than he could have imagined.

This is an adventure about time, conspiracy, and protecting what matters, a legendary rise from useless nobody to hero. The winds and sands of Lop Nur have buried too many secrets, and he must find the answers before time and space collapse!
