In the fifth year of Xianqing's reign, Li Zhi, the seriously ill Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, woke up in Luoyang, and inside his body lived the soul of Liu Chan, the empress of the Shu Han Dynasty. Facing the completely unfamiliar prosperous Tang Dynasty, the wolf-like Guanlong family, and the sharp-eyed and amazingly talented Queen Wu Meiniang beside him, he made a shocking decision:
"I believe you."
Relying on the survival wisdom tempered in the years of subjugation - attaching importance to people's lives, knowing advancement and retreat, and understanding balance, this time traveler who was rated as "mediocre" by history books began to quietly change history in the most gentle way. What he handed over to Wu Zetian was not only power, but also the ideal of governing the country that "the mountains and rivers are safe and the world is safe"; what he taught Prince Li Hong was not only the art of emperorship, but also the way of a benevolent king that "power should serve the common people".
Four years passed, and the whole world was on the bed of illness. When the emperor who merged the souls of Liu Chan and Li Zhi finally closed his eyes, the "Nine Essentials of the Royal Couch" and unconditional trust he left behind were deeply planted in Wu Zetian's heart like seeds. From then on, the fate of the Tang Dynasty quietly turned - a great change that was sown by the time traveler and put into practice by the empress, kicked off in the snowstorm of the first year of Qianfeng.
This is a story about how trust reshapes history and how tenderness changes the world. When the subjugated king who "luckily misses Shu" meets the future empress who "lives in the sky", the two souls who have been misunderstood by history will work together to write the most touching possibility of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
