Liuli returned as a renowned physicist and revealed that her time-machine research was stalled by one impossibly difficult function in the Time Reversal Formula. After Imperial Emperor’s answer inspired her to recognize a heart-shaped function as the missing piece, she rushed back to the lab to verify it, hoping to complete the formula in three years.

• Liuli reunited with Jiang Sui and told everyone she had earned a doctorate in physics, founded MIT’s Time Research Institute, and received major prizes.

• Liuli explained that returning someone intact to the past required endless energy, which would take more than seventy years to develop, so the Imperial Crown could not bring Su Hang back.
