The narrative is set in the fictional realm of "Daliang," where numerous locals, following their deaths, have their bodies possessed by souls from 2,000 years in the future, thereby becoming time travelers. These individuals introduce advanced experiences and knowledge to Daliang, which simultaneously provokes suspicion and concern among the reigning emperor. Amidst these shifting dynamics, Lou Zhu, a time traveler who advocates for peace, develops a deep bond with Zuo Yunqi, a native of a prominent family, and strives to discover a path toward progress and coexistence for everyone. However, tensions between the imperial court and radical time travelers escalate rapidly. During an explosive incident, Lou Zhu becomes involved in an effort to prevent mutual destruction but is tragically buried under a collapsing mountain, leaving his fate uncertain. Half a year passes in the blink of an eye. Capitalizing on the opportunity created by the major explosion, the emperor orders the eradication of all time travelers, while a radical time traveler organization known as the "Pioneers," led by Jiao Jiaoran, aims to exploit the upheaval to overthrow imperial authority and gain a military advantage through modern weaponry. Both factions share a common focus: the legendary Lou Zhu, who is rumored to be recovering from his injuries within the martial arts community.
