Very glad she doesn't have to live through the An Lushan rebellion. That revolt in 755 led to a truly brutal 8-year civil war, which in turn brought devastating famine. Censuses taken before and after show that the imperial population decreased by an absolutely terrifying two-thirds (although a lot of this might have more to do with large numbers of people being internally displaced and therefore not well accounted for by the census). In any case certainly one of the worst places and times to live in all of ancient history. Hope that lucky clover helps the second miss.

Edit: To put this in further perspective, World War I resulted in about 20 million military and civilian deaths at a time when the global population was around 1.7 billion (death rate ~1.2%). With the An Lushan rebellion, the difference in pre and post-war censuses amounts to 36 million at a time when the global population was around 210-220 million ("death" rate ~16.7%). Even if you try to take into account the very real limitations of the post war census (one historian estimates an actual death toll of 13 million), that leaves you with a global death rate of about 6%. Six percent of the world's current population is 486 million, meaning the entire populations of the United States and Russia could die and not even match the proportional death toll.

I wish we can peek more at the past. I'm interested in knowing how this "second miss" person is doing after the time travel and maybe if she's somehow even made it happened in the first place.

What with the jump scare man!?
The last thing I would see him going back in time. But it is going to be hilarious and very problematic for her to explain where the hell he went when he vanished for whatever many months! :dogkek:

Thanks for chap
Ngl if you consider ML's PoV his worry is extremely realistic and justified. It is scary to imagine someone you care for can disappear without a trace to a time you can't ever reach. More so knowing that's the place they actually belong and not here.

Especially when we are showen the leaf seemingly transferring to the past. So his paranoia is seemingly justified.

Still does not explain how the FL got to his side of China when it is clearly very far away from her home town.
Unless I missed something and she was travelling when she time traveled.

can luck ever be this great?
the fear is quite reasonable since they have no clue if she may get sent back.
