About This Novel

A courier in the late Ming Dynasty. It was normal to deliver official documents, run urgently, feed horses, and protect documents. Going out before dawn and returning late at night. Traveling hundreds of miles a day was the norm. Being late even a minute was punishable by a cane, and missing military information was a crime of beheading. There is no basic salary, no social security, no subsidies, only a pitiful ration. If a horse dies, we will pay for it ourselves, if an official document is lost, we will have to carry it ourselves, and the superior officials will embezzle us at every level. When it comes to our hands, we can't even have enough to eat. But now, even this most painful and tiring way of survival is gone.
