Thunder shattered the dragon robe, and Emperor Yong Zhao Heng opened his eyes and found himself in the steel forest of 2024. In the past, the Ninth Five-Year Master, whose life and death could be determined by his word, suddenly became a "stranger" on the street with no identity and penniless, with only a dragon-patterned jade pendant remaining close to his body.
When the majesty of the emperor collides with the urban management ticket, when the secret recipe of the imperial meal confronts the milk in the refrigerator, this fall that spans thousands of years is full of absurdity and pain. He once used his power to crush the court, but he suffered a bloody blow in the modern workplace; he once regarded all the people as trivial, but his eyes became wet when he saw the deliveryman delivering food in the rain. The appearance of Lin Wan, an intern in the history department, was like a beam of light shining into his heart that was frozen by power - it turns out that the word "Your Majesty" is not worth a light left in the middle of the night; thousands of miles of land and mountains are not as good as the fireworks of the neighborhood breakfast stall.
From learning to use smartphones to participating in disaster relief, from questioning his own "great achievements" to understanding the importance of "everyone living well", this emperor who was once trapped in the dragon throne finally understood in the fireworks of the world: the real world has never been the glazed tiles of the Golden Palace, but the light in the eyes of millions of people.
When the dragon-patterned jade pendant no longer heats up, when "I" becomes "I", this millennium dialogue about power and humanity contains answers that every ordinary person can resonate with. If you are also curious about how an emperor learned to "live" in modern times, you might as well turn the pages of the book and watch him write an ending that is more important than the country in the world of fireworks. Such a story is worth telling to every heart that longs to understand life.
