Unremembered Person

He was originally an unknown petty official. The name is written in the corner of the book and can be erased at any time; it exists among the crowd, but is not really remembered by anyone. At a roll call, he was selected into a team heading west - a team that will not be recorded in history books. There is no explanation and no choice. From the moment he stepped out of the city gate, he left the original order. Outside Guanzhong, the rules began to loosen; in the Western Regions, power was no longer single. Food, information, identity and transactions are intertwined into an invisible web that involves everyone. Some people come with a mission, some come with benefits, and some people don't know why they were chosen from the beginning. At first, Li Ce just recorded, calculated, and watched. He is used to listening, used to judging, and used to staying silent at key points. But he gradually discovered that everyone in this team was not performing the same mission. What really determines the destination is never the order, but the flow and distribution of information. When he begins to see the rules clearly, he also begins to be seen by the rules. From the marginal scribes to the nodes that are repeatedly "used"; from the unknown people to the irreplaceable position. He was not the strongest, nor was he prominent. It's just that I can see the end of this road earlier than most people. That's a path to power. It is also a road that consumes all people but leaves no name behind.
