A Love Across Time: Reuniting After a Long Dream

Xiao Wanzi (Xianxian): A clever, bold, cheerful female thief who specializes in stealing artifacts. She loves money but is loyal to her friends. After stealing the Dreaming Immortal Pillow, she transmigrates to the Ming dynasty with Zhang Chuchu. At first, she intends to use Zhu Yunwen to return to the modern era, but gradually falls for him. When the Jingnan Campaign ends and the palace catches fire, she transmigrates back to the modern era with Zhu Yunwen. Zhang Chuchu (Liu Rumei): A capable, alert, no-nonsense policewoman at the Wanchai Police Station in Hong Kong. She is just and responsible. While pursuing Xiao Wanzi, she transmigrates with her to the Ming dynasty. After being injured and losing her memory, she is rescued by Zhu Di and mistakes him for her modern boyfriend. Even after recovering her memories, she remains torn between reason, duty, and love. Ultimately, she stays in the Ming dynasty by Zhu Di's side. Zhu Yunwen: The eldest grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming dynasty. After ascending the throne, he becomes the Jianwen Emperor. Gentle and refined, he values love, but also has his own ambitions for power and the instincts of an emperor. He meets Xiao Wanzi when she falls from the sky, and comes to love her deeply. Yet he repeatedly wavers between the imperial throne, the political situation, and his feelings. In the end, he transmigrates back to the modern era with her amid the coup and fire at the palace in Nanjing. Zhu Di: Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son and Prince of Yan. Strong-willed and decisive, he is shrewd and a man of action, with both ambition and a desire for control. He doesn't easily relinquish either love or power. After rescuing Zhang Chuchu, who has lost her memory, he gradually falls for her amid their mutual testing, mistaken identity, and attraction. After Zhu Yunwen moves to weaken the power of the vassal princes, Zhu Di leads an army south under the banner of “Jingnan.” He eventually seizes the throne and becomes the Yongle Emperor.

He is Zhang Chuchu's boyfriend. Consort Ji: Zhu Di's secondary consort and the daughter of Chen Youliang. Deeply attached to Zhu Di, she is hostile toward Zhang Chuchu. Jealousy and misunderstandings repeatedly draw her into trouble. Though calculating and envious, she is also a woman caught in the Prince of Yan's household, with her own grievances and obsessions. Xiao Bei: A close attendant of Prince Yan Zhu Di. Efficient and often at his side handling matters inside and outside the residence, he is one of the closest subordinates in the prince's faction.

Yang Genshan: Xiao Wanzi's master and a famous artifact thief in the martial world. Xiao Wanzi learned most of her thieving skills, resourcefulness, and knowledge of history from him. Theme: History may not be rewritten, and not every parting can be undone, but through loss, reunion, and misunderstanding, people can gradually learn to understand themselves and others. Through an adventure that crosses the past and present, the story depicts several people making choices in the face of history, love, and responsibility: loss, debts owed, a past they cannot let go of, and sincere feelings they never got the chance to express. What has happened may be impossible to change, but people can still acknowledge the cost, carry their regrets and love with them, and keep moving forward.
