Lin Mo, an ordinary modern young man, is an almost stubborn lover of history. After coming into contact with a broken bronze mirror on an old bookstall, he gained the ability to go back in time. But this ability does not allow him to become king and dominate, nor does it allow him to change his destiny against the will of heaven - he can only stand as a "spectator" at the historical scene, see, hear and remember, but he cannot really change the macro trend of history.
He once stood on Zhuque Street in Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty and saw the shadows of refugees in the prosperous times; he also heard the hustle and bustle of tile houses in Bianjing City, and in a blink of an eye he witnessed the wind and snow rolling down the city in Jingkang; he watched the flash of swords in the Xuanwu Gate Incident, the smoke of the Anshi Rebellion, the despair of the Yashan naval battle, and the panic of the Tumu Fort Incident. The names in a few lines in the history books turned into living people capable of fear, hesitation, and tears before his eyes.
The more he read, the more he understood: History is never just the success or failure of emperors and generals, but also the fate of countless little people swept away by the torrent. But when he saw with his own eyes that his loyal ministers were about to die, the people were about to perish, and the dynasty was about to collapse, could he continue to remain silent? If "knowing the outcome" is a kind of torture in itself, then the meaning of the existence of bystanders, is it to witness or to atone?
