A thousand years ago, the Xia Kingdom brought the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods to an end and unified the land.
Five hundred years ago, an empress ascended the throne, ushered in the Industrial Revolution, and unified the world.
People in later generations were baffled by the empress who ushered in the Industrial Revolution. How had she suddenly managed to bring it about?
At last, a scientist built a time machine. Curious about the historical mystery himself, the male protagonist became its first test subject. After he transmigrated, he met the empress at the age of twenty, only to discover that she knew him and called him her teacher.
The second time, he met the empress at thirty.
The third time, he met the empress at fifteen.
The fourth time, he tried taking things into the past. While he was helping his school-age niece with her homework, she casually stuffed her nine-year compulsory education textbooks into his case. He met the seven-year-old empress, who didn't know him. With no identity to his name, he was mistaken for an assassin and nearly killed, while the experimental case fell into the seven-year-old empress's hands.
P.S. The idea came from Ancient Love Song. In Ancient Love Song, the male lead travels backward through time; this story's premise is random, chaotic time travel.
