Note added on June 23
On her thirtieth birthday, Wan Gu bought a three-story villa outright and opened a bookstore on the first floor. It didn't sell books, only time.
From 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., it cost fifty yuan per person per hour. From 8 p.m. to 10 a.m., it cost two hundred yuan per person per hour. The minimum purchase was one hour.
Though the villa community had few residents, there were plenty of wealthy people, and even more who were both wealthy and free. Driven by intense curiosity, they walked into the bookstore and paid for their time.
With customers like these, who had money to spare, Wan Gu could have comfortably retired and lived as a low-budget woman of leisure. Then one night, a man covered in blood and clutching a red-tasseled spear collapsed outside the shop. When she went out to look, all she saw was a lonely moon hanging in the sky above a sea of yellow sand.
It was as though someone had flipped a strange switch. Wan Gu's bookstore began appearing in all kinds of strange places, and secret stories from dynasties throughout history came rushing at her...
P.S.
1. The female lead has no romantic pairing. There may be one-sided crushes, but no entanglements.
2. For now, this is just an idea. The author will study more history before starting the book.
Theme: The weight of history always leaves one with a heavy heart
