The Wick Shines for Thousands of Years

The sound of bronze deep in the tunnel opened up the thousand-year memory in my blood. I am a double time traveler who can travel in both directions, and I am also a "variable" that the Lawful Society must kill. I have traveled through the two thousand years of time, not to seek kingship and hegemony, but to keep the fire of Chinese culture alive. The lawful ones want to weld history to death, and the shabby ones want to reshape the world. And I want to find a third way in this thousand-year game.
