In your short summary, it's impossible to tell whether the mysterious man or Xia Tian is the inventor of the time machine. Remove "earlier" - it's redundant after you've said "goes back in time".

This is just to make the short summary more interesting, isn’t?

I feel it’s very briefer if I don’t mention about the inventor & mysterious man.

Can you fix the mistakes in that sentence?

It would be briefer without mentioning the inventor and the mysterious man.
