The Luo River stirs, and the Nine Tripods shatter souls! Every time a Cinderland space opens, it triggers a real-world war in Luoyang. A four-person team is forced to fight their way through Cinderland spaces from the Jingkang and An-Shi Rebellions to the Eastern Zhou, Three Kingdoms, Southern Ming, Qin and Han, and ancient eras. These spaces connect to real history, and breaking their rules means being erased by history itself. They must wager their lives on the survival of time and space.
A physics PhD opens his "Temporal Trace Eye" to unravel energy mysteries, a history prodigy decodes secrets through poetic resonance, a cultural relic restorer travels between past and present through a bond of souls, and a cultural-creative shop owner uses unofficial histories to escape crises.
They must reclaim the fragments of the Nine Tripods and expose the organization's infiltrator, while forbidden feelings tug at them on the edge of life and death: twin sisters fall for the same person, and a secret admirer silently protects them. But their emotional turmoil can shift the energy of the Luo River, making every heartbeat deepen their hometown's suffering.
From Li Qingzhao's drafts of poetry to Cao Zhi's Rhapsody on the Goddess of the Luo River, from Yu the Great taming the floods to the Nine Tripods restored, every step puts them on the knife's edge between rules and emotions. This thousand-year struggle to protect their homeland is the ultimate fusion of rigorous historical research and addictive emotional intrigue, as they fight to save time and space while bearing the weight of their sins.
The story and setting are super engaging; if you enjoy history and imaginative plots, you should definitely check it out!
