The life of Han Wenming, an ordinary office worker, was changed forever on the night a meteor fell from the sky. Struck by the meteor in an accident, he was lucky enough to bind himself to the one and only time machine, unlocking the ability to travel freely through five thousand years of history.
He can step into Chang’an at the height of the Tang dynasty, drink strong wine with the Poet Immortal, and talk of love, landscapes, and the world; head to the bustling streets of the Song dynasty to chat about the past and present with refined scholars and trade all kinds of curiosities; or help a down-and-out painter change his fate and get his life back on track. He has witnessed dynasties rise and fall, sharing drinks and laughter with heroes and great men. Across the long river of history, countless figures who shaped their times have become his old friends and confidants.
Using his ability to travel through time, Han Wenming moves between eras, trading with people of the past. Everyday modern items become rare treasures in ancient times, earning him countless heirlooms and thousand-year-old antiques. Meanwhile, he brings back to the present ancient paintings and calligraphy no longer available anywhere else, peerless jade, and rare artifacts. Each is priceless, completely transforming his ordinary life.
To travel freely and control the flow of time, he sets up temporal anchors at famous mountains, rivers, and bustling cities throughout the dynasties. From then on, past and present have no boundaries, and every corner of every era is only a thought away. After wandering through a thousand years, befriending famous figures of history, and collecting treasures passed down through the ages, Han Wenming can leisurely discuss philosophy over wine with people from the past, then return to enjoy the splendor of the modern world. Thus begins his one-of-a-kind life of carefree travel between past and present.
