Meteorologist Shen Guanyun transmigrated into the Ming dynasty’s gear-driven Forbidden City, where he became a lowly cloud-pattern recorder. He had a predictive System that could forecast three days ahead, but didn’t know that every use stole from the nation’s fortune. To stay alive amid mechanical palace intrigue, he was forced to ally with Su Wanqing, a transmigrated female official who restored cultural relics. Together, they used modern science disguised as Daoist magic to modify the steam-powered armillary sphere, navigating a world of eunuchs, cultivators, and gear sprites. When they reached the heart of the dynasty, they discovered that this golden age, where steam and immortal arts danced together, was merely the lingering echo of a time-space accident from three hundred years ago. And his System was the only key to shutting down this false world. Press it, and history would return to its proper course, but the woman he loved would vanish. Leave it alone, and the gears would turn forever, with ten thousand souls imprisoned.
