The old elm bed from the Qing dynasty is carved with a hidden pattern reading “May all prosper in good time.”
It conceals the business notes of her ancestors and a rift in time and space. Touching the bed’s core can send Shen Yuniang, a seventy-year-old woman from the late Qing, to the year 2025.
Traveling back and forth depends on the bed’s temperature sensor. Skilled in woodworking and hand weaving, she puts down roots in the modern world and earns a living with her crafts.
She resells all kinds of modern goods in the Qing dynasty, making a fortune in silver.
