In 2060, a phone called Dream Spirit sends Jin Chongdong back to the chaotic Three Kingdoms era, 1,800 years in the past.
This is no ordinary transmigration. Dream Spirit has every feature imaginable: historical archives, skill training, and time travel. While others are confined to a single dynasty, he can roam all of China. Starting in Xiangyang during the Three Kingdoms era, he can go to the Qin dynasty to show the First Emperor a map of the world, travel to the Tang dynasty to help Wu Meiniang seize the throne, overwhelm Su Shi in the Northern Song with a thousand years of literary heritage, or accompany Zheng He in the Ming dynasty to launch the great voyages ahead of schedule.
And whenever he returns from one dynasty, only three days have passed at his main base, but the women he left behind in history have waited three whole months. Diaochan counts the days until he returns from atop the city walls; Zhen Mi flips through the account books again and again; longing fills every note of Cai Wenji’s zither. This is the heartbreak unique to quick transmigration: he returns with gunpowder recipes, shipbuilding techniques, and steam engines from another era to crush his enemies, only to find another fine line at the corner of his beloved’s eye.
Twelve heroines, twelve entirely different lives. The beauty of the troubled times, Diaochan; the scheming empress, Wu Meiniang; the kindred spirit, Li Qingzhao; the princess of the martial world, Zhu Mingyue; and the eagle of the grasslands, Nala... They are no mere decorations. Each has her own storyline and an irreplaceable role. Yet the one who has been with him the longest is the very phone that has been at his side from the beginning: Dream Spirit. Over two thousand chapters, her emotions evolve from the cold, “Do you need help, Master?” to the moment she takes physical form a thousand years later: “This time, I can touch you.”
