    [Must-Read for Bookworms] I stayed up all night to finish this! 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 discovers 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 uncover the hand that overthrew the dynasty. 🔥 Why did this book keep me up all night? ❶ A groundbreaking new genre: "solving cases with an abacus"! Not time travel, no cheat codes—the protagonist breaks through the impasse with his professional auditing skills! Hidden within the clatter of abacus beads lies a deadly intent more lethal than swords. Smelling blood from the dry numbers—this intellectual battle is incredibly satisfying! ❷ A 72-hour countdown, the pace is breathtaking! The closer the Lantern Festival gets, the deeper the conspiracy. Wu Zetian, Princess Taiping, and Lai Junchen's forces are locked in a three-way struggle; every step is a gamble of life and death. Memorable scenes abound, the visuals are stunning—each chapter feels like a suspenseful short drama! ❸ The relatability of ordinary people is overwhelming! Li Suan is powerless and without influence, possessing only the instinct for survival and professional dedication. His fear, struggle, and desperate counterattack are relatable to every ordinary person facing pressure in reality. This narrative of "ordinary people influencing grand history" is truly moving! 📚 If you're tired of mindless time travel and formulaic palace intrigue and cultivation novels, come and read *The Three-Day Record of Luoyang*! The historical research is solid (the first year of the Zheng Sheng era and the records of Tan Jing and Bing Jing are all sourced), the suspense is mind-bending, and the pacing is incredibly fast! 👉 I've already added it to my bookshelf, so without further ado, go for it!
