Synopsis
Victor Hugo: "You all call me 'The Conscience of France,' but at this moment, it is beating in Léonard's chest!" Émile Zola: "'Naturalism' or 'Realism'? No, only Léonard's 'Modernism' belongs to the 20th century!" Gustave Flaubert: "Maupassant is my best student; Léonard is my kindred spirit." Guy de Maupassant: "Léonard's only flaw is that he was not infected with noble, magnificent syphilis." Anton Chekhov: "What more do we need in the world besides sunshine, air, water, and smiles? Léonard's works, of course!" Leo Tolstoy: "Are you suggesting I should go to Sweden to accept the Nobel Prize that Léonard Sorel refused?" Arthur Conan Doyle: "It is my honor to serve as the assistant to the great detective Sherlock Holmes and to be written into a novel by Monsieur Léonard!" Oscar Wilde: "Léonard, light of my life, fire of my loins, my sin, my soul!" Nikola Tesla: "Without Léonard, there would be no 'Tesla-Sorel Electric Company'!" Thomas Edison: "The demon who dug the light bulb out of my heart, the demon!" Yan Fu: "The French man of letters, Léonard Sorel, is a genius of universal scale, a lover of humanity, and master of the Chinese language. He should be brought in as the Imperial Tutor!" Sa Zhenbing : "Brother Sorel, the 'New China' you spoke of, I have witnessed it!"

Zhang Chaohua rolled over to feel for his glasses on the nightstand, but his hand met only air.

Only then did he realize he seemed not to need his glasses to vaguely make out his surroundings.

This was an unfamiliar bed, and an unfamiliar room.

Judging from the irregular ceiling shape and the round skylight, it must be an attic room.

Faint morning light was now spilling into the room from the skylight, barely allowing him to make out a desk placed opposite the bed.

On the desk, a quill pen was stuck in an ink bottle, its pure white color particularly eye-catching. Zhang Chaohua could even see the delicate downy feathers gently trembling in the air—
