Book of Retrospection: Eye

Shen Yan, a modern restorer of ancient books, accidentally traveled to the Qin State at the end of the Warring States Period while repairing a bamboo slip of the "Law of Qin: Strange Stories" that had never been seen in history. This place is completely different from the history he knew: the alchemists in Jixia Academy can induce the stars, the wizards in Chu can talk to ghosts and gods, and the Qin State's black ice platform suppresses strange things called "filth" under the iron cavalry. Relying on his thorough understanding of ancient characters, systems and craftsmanship, Shen Yan traveled around the court and the world as an "alchemist". He originally wanted to just be a bystander in history, but gradually discovered that his time travel was no accident - the volume of "Strange News" was the true record of this period of his life by later generations. Should he follow the history books and become a legend, or should he write his own pen to rewrite his own ending? When the torrent of history collides fiercely with an individual's destiny, he must make a choice: to be a detached "observer" or to be a warm "participant."
