Lin Qingyin, a PhD in history, never imagined that after an ordinary academic salon, she and five other chosen companions would be drawn into the “Historical Simulation System,” a mysterious space capable of running sandbox simulations at pivotal moments in history.
Their first mission is to become “time travelers”: save Fusu from execution, protect Yue Fei from a false accusation, and preserve the spark of civilization during the Battle of Yashan. Every simulation could change the fate of an empire, but it could also exact a price they never saw coming.
As their missions escalate from “saving individuals” to “establishing institutions,” and finally to “safeguarding civilization itself,” these six strangers must learn to trust one another, face their disagreements, and even endure separation. At the end of all the scenarios, Shen Tingyu, the companion so quiet she was almost overlooked, holds a truth that not even the System has recorded.
This is a simulation game spanning a thousand years. But when the game is over, will they bring back an answer, or another beginning?
