After history graduate student Wang Zhiyuan touched an ancient compass, he opened his eyes and found himself lying in the wilderness beside the Mississippi River in 1803. They didn't speak the language, they were penniless, and President Jackson had just signed the Louisiana Purchase-a westward storm that was devouring the indigenous homelands was already blowing. He soon discovered that the compass in his arms had terrible corrective power: whenever he changed the situation, mysterious forces and unexpected disasters would follow. And is the woman Isabella, who always appears at critical moments and knows the secret of the compass, his salvation or a bait sent by time and space? When the gold rush swept the west in 1849, Wang Zhiyuan stood at the crossroads of the new civilization he created. Is it a return to modern times, or is it a complete integration into the wave of the times that he personally reshaped? --This is an unimagined road, a new world born of guns, gold and blood.
