[Beloved by All, Underdog Comeback]+ [Everyone Awakens]+ [Past and Present Connected]+ [Two-Way Devotion]+ [Coming-of-Age, No Romance]
In Yong'an, the capital of Great Qian, the Southern Barbarians failed to breach the city despite repeated assaults. They changed tactics, surrounding the city and cutting off its water supply, then secretly blowing up the granaries and starving the soldiers and civilians trapped within.
In just a few months, the city ran out of food, and its medicinal herbs were all but exhausted.
Famine spread, and plague ran rampant...
Tang Ruanruan's grandmother had a dangerously high fever that wouldn't break.
Desperate and helpless, Ruanruan couldn't stop her tears. The pair of wooden bracelets on her wrist suddenly began to glow.
A passage through time, connecting the past and present, opened.
She was transported to the side of her modern-day best friend, Li Muhe, who was her age.
Muhe came from one of the country's most prestigious families, yet at home she was an inconspicuous nobody.
She pushed herself relentlessly, determined to prove her worth, all for the sake of earning even a little affection from her family.
Tang Ruanruan's innocence, Li Muhe's integrity, and the way they protected one another changed them both.
The wooden bracelets had originally been a pair.
One transformed into a passage that chose Tang Ruanruan, while the System's Rescue-the-Little-Unfortunate space chose Li Muhe.
From then on, their fates became inextricably intertwined.
One was trapped in a lonely city amid war, relying on the connection between the two worlds to obtain supplies, help the people, and hold the city at all costs.
She drove back the Southern Barbarians and fought to save Great Qian from the brink of collapse.
The other lived in the modern world, completing one rescue mission after another and building up a vast store of favor points, which she used in the System's shop to redeem technology and strengthen her country.
One in the past, one in the present, they gazed toward each other across time, devoted to one another and joining hands to rewrite their tragic destinies
