An ancient tomb excavation, a bizarre time travel. Su Nian and Lin Yuan, a modern couple, were brought to a strange dynasty by a bronze ring.
The female protagonist, Su Nian, becomes the prince of the current dynasty and thrives amidst the strife in the court; the male protagonist, Lin Yuan, becomes the daughter of the king of Border Mountain and starts from scratch in a desolate land. They don't know that the other person is also in this world, and they have grown up alone for twenty years. One is to implement reforms within the old system; the other is to establish a new order in the blank space. The two roads are separated by more than a thousand miles of mountains and rivers, extending parallel in the dark, approaching the same direction step by step. It wasn't until they finally met each other in a post station outside the battlefield that they discovered that the people who had been rivals and tested each other for the past twenty years were each other's only concern in another world.
Concept: two people, two roads, the same direction. Su Nianchuan became the prince and implemented reforms within the old system. She examines the long-standing shortcomings of the old order with the eyes of a modern historian, working step by step on the edge of the court, trying to pry a decadent dynasty from within. Lin Yuan crossed over and became the daughter of the king of Border Mountain, starting from scratch in a blank space. With his knowledge of science and engineering and grassroots work experience from his previous life, he reclaimed wasteland, built canals, made gunpowder, and established systems to establish a new order from scratch. They don't know that the other person is also in this world. One is under management and the other is under construction. One is top down and one is bottom up. Separated by thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, we each walked for twenty years. They grew up alone in their own worlds and faced different difficulties on their own paths. Su Nian dealt with aristocratic families in the court, looking for the possibility of reform in the gaps of the old system; Lin Yuan started from scratch in the wasteland on the border, establishing a new set of rules that can operate on its own in a place where no one cares. The two lines are unknown to each other, but they extend in the same direction on their respective trajectories, and each becomes a reference for the other that they have never met. It wasn't until the end of the road that they discovered that two people heading in the same direction were finally standing in front of each other. They have been opponents, testers, and that vague shadow in the distance. Eventually, they became fellow travelers. This is not a story about love, nor is it a story about power. This is a story about two people who each walk a certain distance and then meet at the end. Some people can only walk side by side after each has walked a certain distance.
