Bianliang Autumn Lanterns

In the last years of Xian De's reign, Tokyo's Bianliang seemed to be stabilizing on the surface, but secretly it was already making waves. Xuchang, courtesy name Wenlong, was born in Junyi, Bianzhou, and came from a poor family. He was originally just an inconspicuous scribe in the military government. He is literate, can check accounts, and understands propriety. Originally, his greatest wish was to provide for his old mother, protect his little sister, and find a stable way to survive in troubled times. From Dongchengcang to Old Xuandefang, from Tokyo Military Mansion to Chenqiao Post Road, Xuchang gradually discovered that the numbers on the account books were never just numbers. Hidden behind the ink marks on the paper were troop movements, secret messages, post lines and human lives. Veteran generals in the army, new talents in the northern camp, visitors from the south, and literati from the old tribe all have their own calculations and experiments. Every seemingly unrelated name may eventually be connected to the most dangerous hidden thread before the change of dynasty. And Xu Chang has a secret that even he himself can't explain. He is not a time traveler, nor is he born a strange person. He just occasionally has some bizarre dreams. In the dream, there are snowy fields, inns, fragments that are as distant and unfamiliar as the afterlife, and there are also some unexplainable premonitions. Those dreams could not make him predict the future, but they always gave him a vague but cold reminder before his fate was about to change. In the stormy era, he was both a minor figure and a witness. "Bianliang Autumn Lanterns" is not about simple emperors and generals, but about those people who were lightly mentioned by history books but truly endured the weight of troubled times from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms to the early Song Dynasty.
