Those Years in the Long River of History

A young boy's soul transmigrates to the early Warring States period. Hungry and cold, he steals gold and happens to meet the immortal master Guigu, who takes him into the Cloud Dream Mountains to become a direct disciple of the Zongheng school. He follows Lord Shang into Qin, witnesses the reforms and the strengthening of the state, and gradually delves deeper into the chessboard of chaos. His fellow disciples turn against each other, his master dies for the law, and the land is in turmoil. He witnesses the rise of Great Qin and the unification of the world, but never expects that the cruelest blow of this chaotic era would strike the only light in his heart. In a sudden upheaval, he sacrifices himself, defies heaven to achieve immortality, and from then on walks alone behind a mask, silent for a thousand years. Qin falls, Han rises, the Three Kingdoms blaze, the Wei-Jin elegance, the Tang splendor, the Song-Yuan transitions, the Ming end in storm. Two thousand years of desolate time, dynasties rise and fall without end. Only he, holding onto a millennium-deep obsession, cares not for fame or fortune, nor for the rise and fall of the world, quietly waiting for the cycle, patiently waiting for one person.
