Synopsis

No System, no harem, no golden finger. A compelling story with a strong plot, in the traditional style. A thousand miles of red dust, and the consort smiles. What is this red dust? What is Yang Guifei smiling about?

Zhang Zhi is a low-ranking clerk at the very bottom of Chang’an society. After saying something while drunk, he is forced to take on the task of delivering fresh lychees to Chang’an before a strict deadline. Under immense pressure, he comes to understand the rules of officialdom. With a single move, he breaks through the power play of the Crown Prince, Gao Lishi, and Yang Guozhong, overcoming obstacle after obstacle and ultimately completing his task. What does he say to Emperor Xuanzong and Yang Guifei, and how does it spark the An Lushan Rebellion? How will he protect himself and his family in this game of power?
