Synopsis

If you open the account book titled The Luoyang Three-Day Ledger, every line of numbers represents a life. Three days before the Lantern Festival in the first year of the Zhengsheng era, Li Suan, a low-ranking clerk in the Ministry of Revenue, discovers a ledger that could turn the entire court of the Wu Zhou dynasty into a river of blood. The charcoal and ice gratuities are bribes; the sunken grain ships are murder. And the bloody fingerprints of twenty-seven ministers on the final page point to a coup to be launched amid the dazzling festival lights. Wu Zetian is waiting for the truth. Princess Taiping is laying her pieces on the board. The ruthless official Lai Junchen's pursuers are already at the door. This nobody, who knows only how to do accounts, has just seventy-two hours. The abacus in his hands will decide whether the divine capital of Luoyang shines with the glory of a golden age or burns in a great blaze. This is no transmigration: it is a deadly gamble to overturn history through financial auditing. When the accounts don't add up, lives are in danger. Numbers are blades that can cut down a dynasty.
