A Time Broker's Handbook

[Two Female Leads + Transmigration + Entertainment Industry + Women's Growth]

From the icy edge of a well in Shoukang Palace to the blazing spotlights of a top-tier star's awards ceremony, three hundred years lie between them.

Jiang Lan, a palace maid from the Qing dynasty, falls into modern-day traffic as she lies on the brink of death and is rescued by Song Jiajia, a girl with nothing but her dreams to her name. Homeless, Jiang Lan becomes Song Jiajia's only roommate and her “antique” assistant. Song Jiajia teaches her to use a phone, eat hot pot, and enjoy her freedom. In turn, Jiang Lan draws on the palace's hard-won survival wisdom to help her navigate the entertainment industry's countless traps and cruelties.

As Song Jiajia rises from bit player to top-tier star, Jiang Lan becomes the only agent she trusts completely, as well as a silent link to the past. Then, beneath the brilliant lights of a celebration banquet, Jiang Lan looks at the peony-shaped bruise reappearing in her palm. The mark of her transmigration is growing hot.

Her era is calling her back to finish the deadly game left unresolved. And this time, their parting may be forever.

“Meeting you is the best meaning of my journey across three hundred years, and my most painful secret.”
