   [A Must-Read for Bookworms] I stayed up all night to finish it! Historical suspense + Tang Dynasty detective stories + Wu Zhou political intrigue + a nobody's rise to power! This "ancient auditor" uses an abacus to overturn Wu Zetian's court in 72 hours! It's so addictive!!! "The Three-Day Book of Luoyang"—a masterpiece where a lowly ninth-rank official's abacus clicks and the Wu Zhou Dynasty hangs by a thread! 📖 The story begins with a dusty abacus: Li Suan, a lowly clerk in the Ministry of Revenue, an ordinary person who only knows how to use an abacus, accidentally uncovers a "King of Hell's Account." On the surface, it's a list of gifts for charcoal and ice, but underneath lies a murder of a sunken canal ship, the bloody fingerprints of twenty-seven ministers, and a coup ignited at the Lantern Festival. Wu Zetian awaits the truth, Princess Taiping is setting up her chessboard, and Lai Junchen's pursuit is already at the door. And he only has 72 hours. With an abacus, he uses the gaps in the numbers to find the hand that overthrew the dynasty. 🔥 Why did this book keep me up all night? ❶ A groundbreaking "ledger-based crime-solving" genre! No time travel, no cheat codes—the protagonist solves the case with his professional auditing skills! Hidden within the clatter of abacus beads lies a deadly intent more deadly than swords. Smelling blood from the dry numbers—this intellectual battle is incredibly satisfying! ❷ A 72-hour countdown keeps the pace suffocating! The closer the Lantern Festival gets, the deeper the conspiracy. The power struggle between Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping, and Lai Junchen is a life-or-death gamble. Memorable scenes abound, each chapter feels like a suspenseful short drama! ❸ A powerful resonance with ordinary people! Li Suan is powerless and vulnerable, possessing only the instinct for survival and professional dedication. His fear, struggle, and desperate counterattack resonate with every ordinary person facing hardship in reality. This narrative of "ordinary people influencing history" is truly moving! 📚 If you're tired of mindless time-travel stories and formulaic palace intrigue and cultivation tales, check out *Three Days in Luoyang*! It boasts solid historical research (the first year of the Zheng Sheng era and the stories of Tan Jing and Bing Jing are both documented), a suspenseful and mind-bending plot, and a fast-paced, exhilarating narrative! 👉 Already added to my bookshelf, no more talk, go for it!!!
