Visitors from a Thousand Dynasties, Starting with Sizǐ

[Third-person narration + historical what-if + transmigration from ancient times to the modern day + culture clash across eras + an ensemble spanning dynasties + healing and growth] Most people who transmigrate end up in ancient times as princes, but Chen Yiping found the Tang dynasty’s Princess Jinyang, Sizi, right in his own home. The apple of Emperor Taizong’s eye opened her mouth and spoke in a soft, babyish voice: “Big bro, tummy hungry. Wanna eat!”

To take good care of the little girl, Chen Yiping worked hard to grow stronger, only to discover by chance that his home had become a hub connecting the past and present.

As he grew more powerful, more visitors from a thousand years ago began arriving one after another:

The crown princes in history who inspired the most heartbreak could finally relax, drinking and grilling skewers at modern street stalls, and laying down the burdens they had carried for a thousand years.

Emperors from across the dynasties, including Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of Han, and Zhu Yuanzhang, would argue in the living room until they were red in the face over whose achievements were greater, then fall silent and shed tears together when they saw a map of the modern age of prosperity.

From the warmth of everyday life raising a child, to moving moments that heal old regrets, to the awe of eras colliding.

This is a journey both hilarious and tearful, and a wondrous chapter in the story of Chinese civilization, written together by Chen Yiping’s family and visitors from across the ages.
