After a million words, looking back, you realize everything the author has planted is a setup, and it's surprisingly addictive. ① The protagonist, Ling Bufan, accidentally travels back to the Great Qian Dynasty. 🍓 It seems unrelated at first glance, 🌈 but it's actually a preordained arrangement.

    It's a rebirth story set in a post-apocalyptic world, but it completely subverts the usual tropes. It lays a long foundation from the very beginning, and the intellectual battles and human nature portrayals are incredibly realistic. The scope expands as the story progresses, making the ending completely unpredictable.
