I've found the Baidu site with a synopsis of the drama which should be more accurate than the previous one. I don't think it's really about aliens and the future - I could be wrong still, let's see. On Baidu, there's mention of alien invasion and orcs but I think it's more of foreigners in their land than the aliens we are thinking of.
