It all began in 1815, when Napoleon suffered his stunning defeat at Waterloo. No one noticed that an unlucky young woman studying abroad, 200 years in the future, had transmigrated to southern France, where she met a brutal convict who had just been paroled after 19 years in prison...

A Black-Worker's Journey in Britain 英国黑工之旅
The skies over Birmingham in the 1920s are gray. A single breath fills a passerby's lungs with coal dust.

[Sea Labor]the Hanging Sea [海上劳工]倒悬之海
"My name is Ariel, but don't get me wrong, I don't have a fish tail." Ariel's fingers nervously toyed with a strand of hair hanging down her chest, her face almost as red as her hair. Gilliat frowned and looked at the girl who came uninvited to his door. This was the third time this week, and he was annoyed. "Are you okay? If not, please don't disturb me." After that, the wooden door closed with a bang. "Hey!..." Ariel felt frustrated for a while, and then she cheered herself up. When a woman
