Chuānyuè (Chinese: 穿越), also chuānkōng (Chinese: 穿空), shortened from chuānyuè shíkōng (Chinese: 穿越時空; lit. 'interdimensional travel'), is a Chinese genre of speculative fiction where the protagonist either travels back in time to historical periods,[1] or travels to a different world. In both interpretations, the traveler might come to the new reality as their physical body or transmigrates into a local resident's body.
The first modern work of the genre is said to be A Step into the Past by Hong Kong writer Huang Yi. Many works that can be categorized as chuanyue are published by Qidian Chinese Network, including Illumine Lingao.
