Synopsis

Humanity has evolved for as long as anyone could remember. It's difficult to recall a time when there was no electricity. With no phone to check the time, no light switch to flip in the dark of the night. Miriel a Harvard student got sent back in time to live like a monarch in the 13th century. Feeling completely isolated, she must live through the everyday tasks of a princess until she can find her way homeward. "It was but a sense of Amnesia in a world that wasn't mine. To exist as someone I am not. An opportunity through a nightmare."

“For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche. In their highest boughs the world rustles, their roots rest in infinity; but they do not lose themselves there, they struggle with all the force of their lives for one thing only: to fulfil themselves according to their own laws, to build up their own form, to represent themselves. Nothing is holier, nothing is more exemplary than a beautiful, strong tree. When a tree is cut down and reveals its naked death-wound to the sun, one can read its whole history in the luminous, inscribed disk of its trunk: in the rings of its years, its scars, all the struggle, all the suffering, all the sickness, all the happiness and prosperity stand truly written, the narrow years and the luxurious years, the attacks withstood, the storms endured. And every young farmboy knows that the hardest and noblest wood has the narrowest rings, that high on the mountains and in continuing danger the most indestructible, the strongest, the ideal trees grow. Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life. A tree says: A kernel is hidden in me, a spark, a thought, I am life from eternal life. The attempt and the risk that the eternal mother took with me is unique, unique the form and veins of my skin, unique the smallest play of leaves in my branches and the smallest scar on my bark. I was made to form and reveal the eternal in my smallest special detail. A tree says: My strength is trust. I know nothing about my fathers, I know nothing about the thousand children that every year spring out of me. I live out the secret of my seed to the very end, and I care for nothing else. I trust that God is in me. I trust that my labor is holy. Out of this trust I live. When we are stricken and cannot bear our lives any longer, then a tree has something to say to us: Be still! Be still! Look at me! Life is not easy, life is not difficult. Those are childish thoughts. Let God speak within you, and your thoughts will grow silent. You are anxious because your path leads away from mother and home. But every step and every day lead you back again to the mother. Home is neither here nor there. Home is within you, or home is nowhere at all. A longing to wander tears my heart when I hear trees rustling in the wind at evening. If one listens to them silently for a long time, this longing reveals its kernel, its meaning. It is not so much a matter of escaping from one's suffering, though it may seem to be so. It is a longing for home, for a memory of the mother, for new metaphors for life. It leads home. Every path leads homeward, every step is birth, every step is death, every grave is mother. So the tree rustles in the evening, when we stand uneasy before our own childish thoughts: Trees have long thoughts, long-breathing and restful, just as they have longer lives than ours. They are wiser than we are, as long as we do not listen to them. But when we have learned how to listen to trees, then the brevity and the quickness and the childlike hastiness of our thoughts achieve an incomparable joy. Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness.”

Wangxiang Terrace is located in front of Zhurong Peak. When Yu the Great controlled the flood, he passed by his home three times without entering. He killed a white horse in Nanyue to worship heaven and obtained the "Golden Slip Jade Book" to obtain the water control strategy. He looked at his hometown from afar and missed his loved ones, hence the name "Homeward Viewing Platform". There was a flying stone on the Homeward Viewing Platform. On the stone, Zhao Puchu had inscribed the words "Hengshan Mountain of the Southern Mountains". Below it was Li Bai's "Send Chen Lang Back to Hengyang". Standing on the Homecoming Platform, one could have a panoramic view of the majestic peaks of the Southern Mountains. The novel " Watching the Moon on Fish Island " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

The Lord God and his little sweet bun sprinkled sugar again

Jiang Wanran was the most honorable little princess of the Jade Rabbit Clan. She did not understand feelings and was not familiar with the world. Because he was too weak, he was punished to go to the 21st century to experience a lifetime of tribulation. Just to temper her, who knew that when she returned to the clan, her personality was still the same as before. In a fit of anger, the Jade King sent her to the Master God for discipline. Who knew that Jiang Wanran would cry the moment she saw the Sovereign and even have nightmares for several days in a row. The Sovereign was both angry and frustrated. The little wife he had taken a fancy to was afraid of him, and she even had nightmares for several days. Hence, he pretended to be sick and asked Jiang Wanran to do a mission to save him, claiming that he did not want to die. Yun Chen: I came to this world for a walk. My life is only complete when I'm with you. Jiang Wanran: I have written many love words, each of which is about you. It's better to have you in my life. [Mission: Jiang Wanran cried her eyes out. She looked at the amnesiac general with a guilty conscience." I'm your unmarried wife. You can't bully me."] Later, he grabbed her fair neck and said in a cruel tone," Since Ranran lied to me, she has to lie to me for the rest of her life." The campus belle Jiang Wanran had a secret that no one knew. She had a crush on the famous Chen Yan and had put a lot of snacks on Chen Yan's table for more than a month. [Note: There are only three lifetimes when one descends to the mortal world to complete missions. The text only mentions two lifetimes.] The female lead was a pure white rabbit and the male lead was a big bad wolf. Shuangjie. Don't go in if you don't like it.
