Lin Xiaoxian traveled through time. But he soon discovered that something was not right about this world - there were steam engines that had exploded three times on the streets, there were closed milk tea shops in the lanes, and there were people who were imprisoned for writing "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty".
The emperor became numb and set up a "Traveler Administration" to catch these outrageous guys.
Lin Xiaoxian, a social horror joker, was caught on the first day of time travel.
He thought he was going to lie down and die, but he accidentally opened a hot pot restaurant and it became popular.
Then, hand-washing, shared trolleys, instant noodles, canned food, improved farm tools, the Minsheng Newspaper... One after another, inconspicuous little inventions fell like Mars on this ancient land.
Some people hated him - those who relied on stability to live their lives. They regarded him as a thorn in their side. The imperial censor impeached him, and the retro-religious faction pursued him. He even alerted the prince behind him.
Some people love him - those tenants, vendors, soldiers, and disaster victims who have been bent down by life. Because of him, their lives have become a little better.
There is also a group of people accompanying him - the cold-faced and warm-hearted Gu Linchuan, the rational and firm Shen Mingyue, Zhao Tiezhu who blew up the steam engine three times, Li Youcai who turned from a book scribe to a farm tool king, who made a lot of money from a small cloth shop to ten branches...
They come from different places and do different things, but they all have a common name: time travellers.
They are all a group of ordinary people who want to make this world a little better.
This is not a story about a hero defying fate.
This is a group of ordinary people who, with their little efforts, have made this world a little smokey.
If you can do something, do something. Do as much as you can.
That's enough.
Intention: The meaning of the world is not in the distance or high places, but in these fireworks. We strive to make the world a better place, not to leave a name in history, but to allow more people—including ourselves—to live a good life.
