This is a million-word emotional novel that combines history, time travel, psychological healing and philosophical speculation. The story unfolds in a double nested structure:
In the surface narrative, modern historian Lin Wanzhao picked up a mysterious man named Li Wei who was covered in wounds and claimed to be "from the Tang Dynasty" in an alley on a rainy night. His accurate knowledge of Tang history, the thousand-year-old jade on his body, and the bottomless trauma in his eyes made her take him in with hesitation. From cultural shock to knowing each other and falling in love, from discovering his sinister and troubled past to trying to cure him with modern psychology, their love oscillates between reality and illusion, and is eventually involved in a time and space conspiracy that spans thousands of years.
In the deep structure, the story gradually reveals: all this may be a carefully designed "dream healing experiment", or the mutual redemption of two traumatized souls in the deep layers of consciousness. When the ginkgo tree bears fruit after seven years, their son sees "Auntie Tang", and the mirror image begins to become misaligned, they are forced to ask: What is reality? Is it the historical records, the beating of the heart, the body temperature of the embrace at this moment, or the narrative we choose to believe together?
The novel depicts the transformation of a man from a wolf in troubled times to a man who learns to love, and the growth of a rational scholar to a woman who embraces miracles. It finally settles on a profound philosophical proposition: If love can create reality, then is everything born of love the greatest reality?
Intent: This is a philosophical romance about trauma healing and existence confirmation wrapped in a science fiction setting - it ultimately wants to say: In an era where everything can be virtual, daring to love is our bravest defense of reality.
