When Zhao Ming touched the mysterious bronze mirror in the museum, he never imagined that he would travel through time and become a dying nobleman of the Spring and Autumn Period. What's even more ironic is that, as a top student in the history department, he can understand ancient proverbs but can't write even half of the seal characters - which makes his carefully prepared "prophet" persona almost come true.
On the execution ground, he used modern negotiation techniques to temporarily save his life, but he fell into a greater crisis: this era recorded in history books as "the collapse of etiquette and the collapse of music" was far more cruel than the literature. When he tried to abolish the system of human sacrifice, the nobles sneered that "the lives of common people are worse than pigs"; when he taught health knowledge, Wu Zhu accused him of "blasphemy". What frightened him the most was that the names that should have been cold on the bamboo slips - Yan Ying, Confucius, Qi Jinggong, were all as vivid as the blades of knives.
As Zhao Ming's intervention in history deepened, he discovered two terrifying facts: first, modern chemical formulas were engraved on the back of the bronze mirror, and second, the star map in the Qi Ancestral Temple actually marked future astronomical discoveries. When the Jin cavalry pressed on, he had to make a choice between saving hundreds of thousands of lives and preserving the trajectory of history. And in the darkness, a mysterious person who also knows the outcome of "Tian Shi Dai Qi" is waiting for him to step into a carefully laid trap...
In this chess game that spans two thousand years, who is the real one?
