In 1662 AD, Zheng Chenggong led his army to regain Taiwan. In this naval battle that will be remembered by later generations, Shen Yao, a young sergeant wearing Ming Army armor, witnessed a shocking scene amid the gunfire - the bottom of the enemy ship actually emitted a blue light, and the Dutch officer's pupils turned into pure silver before he died.
Shen Yao died on the spot, but the next second he woke up five years ago. He found that he could see the "real texture" of history - whenever he approached a tampered node, a transparent "causal afterimage" would appear before his eyes. That was the truth that had been erased by alien civilization, and it was also the last silver light he saw before his death.
From then on, Shen Yao began to trace the truth behind the war. He used his vague memories of the future to navigate step by step in the chaotic times of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties: from the Taiwan Strait to the capital of the Qing Dynasty, from Jiangnan weaving to the Gobi Desert in the Western Regions. He gradually discovered that since the Qin and Han Dynasties, whenever Chinese civilization was about to reach its peak, a mysterious force quietly rewritten key figures and events, pushing the dynasty into civil strife or decline. But this time, he is back, with his knowledge and obsession with history, vowing to tear apart the false history that covers history.
But every move he made was like throwing a boulder into the deep sea, alerting the hunters who had been lurking in the dark. When the silver eyes looked back from the depths of history, Shen Yao realized that his revenge had just begun.
