The title comes from the “Eastern Great Wilderness Classic” in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The Yellow Emperor obtained the divine beast Kui and used its hide to make a drum. Its sound carried for five hundred li, and he used it to intimidate the lords of the four directions.
Coming soon in my author’s collection: “The Immortal Maiden Goes on a Killing Spree” and “Power Over the Court.”

In the 22nd century, technology advanced at a breakneck pace, and a time tunnel that could transport people into the past was unveiled.
Time travel was put on the agenda.
And so, in the 21st century, at the age of twenty-eight and in the prime of her working life, Jiang Chunyuan met an organization called Kun.
They called her “Miss Yuan.”
At the moment they met, a silent contest between the present and the future began.
On a stormy night, Chunyuan’s best friend, Shen Yi, died under mysterious circumstances.
At the same time, Chunyuan met the Kun team from the future and the time portal they had opened.
To find out who the killer was, Chunyuan deliberately got close to these people from the future.
All the while, she kept in mind what Shen Yi had once told her.
“If I ever die, be careful of anyone who shows up in your life!”
Chunyuan is single-mindedly pursuing the killer when, by chance, she meets a Shen Yi from the future who is still alive. But that Shen Yi doesn’t recognize her at all.
From that moment on, Chunyuan has only one goal: bring Shen Yi back to life!
As the layers of truth are peeled away, the mysterious Mingjin people, the War Drum organization, powerful enough to stand against future technology, and its leader, Heijin, gradually emerge, one after another.
Everything she discovers overturns Chunyuan’s understanding of the world.
By accidentally stumbling into the wrong place, Chunyuan has opened the Pandora’s box of the space portal with her own hands!
Demons are unleashed upon the world.
The dead killers come back to life one after another. The past is invaded illegally, and beneath the future lies the source of every secret.

Each century is one hundred years apart.
It’s a multiverse setting because extraterrestrial life appears later, and its beings are unlike the two sexes we’re familiar with.
