It was adapted into an anime some time ago, where both the heroine and the emperor travel through time, and the heroine asks the hero how are you!!! The male protagonist traveled through it first. After being assimilated into the cannibal palace, he met the female protagonist and was redeemed. After the last two people died, he traveled back to modern times and explained the reason why he traveled to ancient times, forming a closed loop! Really beautiful!! I didn't like Gongdou before.
