Synopsis

A rift in time and space lies hidden in the Floating World Bookshop, connecting it to the Ming dynasty a thousand years ago.

A pastry and a cup of cola spark a bond that spans two worlds.

Time never flows the same way in either realm.

Hongxi moves the capital, Zhu Biao is assassinated, and turmoil engulfs the court.

Fifteen-year-old Zhu Xiongying arrives clutching a jade clasp, with the fate of his country weighing on him. In a sorry state, he stumbles into her bookshop.

She is Ye Zijin, owner of the Floating World Bookshop. The jade pendant around her neck comes from the same source as the imperial token, and she has already been swept into a maelstrom by the case of her father’s missing ancient weapons.

The schemes of a troubled age and the mystery of his father’s death weigh on the young emperor.

Strange machines and the business of the modern world await the bookshop owner.

When her bookshop can no longer remain a quiet haven for old books, and the barriers between the two worlds finally begin to crumble, she puts away her pen and ink and shuts down her study. From then on, the Floating World Bookshop changes course, becoming the Ming emperor’s exclusive supplier.

He rules from Chengxi Palace, clears his father’s name, and founds a new dynasty.

She wields wondrous machines from another world, carving a path forward for him and giving him the confidence to rule.

The grand imperial ambitions of two generations of father and son, and the bookshop owner’s dreams of wealth, are brought together by the jade clasp and pendant, forging a Ming dynasty unlike any before it, a sun that never sets.

I'm looking for books like Taking Another Name in Langya. Transmigration isn't a dinner party; it's a deadly game at every turn. The plot should be vivid and interesting, with side characters who are smart. The protagonist should slaughter their way through life-or-death situations. It should be historically accurate, with a natural romance.
