Dreaming of Lin'an - I Was a Dreamer in the Southern Song Dynasty

In the late Southern Song Dynasty, there was an almost lost ancient profession in Lin'an City - dream sender. They can enter the dying dream of the deceased, fulfill their last wishes for the deceased, or witness the truth that they dare not tell. The protagonist Gu Shouzhuo is the last generation of dreamers. He opens an old book shop near Zhongan Bridge, writes letters for others, repairs old books, and never takes the initiative to cause trouble. Until one rainy night, a bloody dream coin fell into the bookstore from the skylight. There is one word engraved on the dream money - "Go." The messenger left a copper coin engraved with the word "Lu" and disappeared. Gu Shouzhuo followed the clues and found an orphan girl named Lu Chenbi who had been anonymous for three years in the fish market. Her father was a recorder of the general of Xiangyang and joined the army. He died after the city was destroyed. Before he died, he asked someone to bring back a dream coin, which he said was given by a gentleman named Gu and would allow him to see the sweet-scented osmanthus tree at home for the last time. Gu Shouzhuo entered the dream coin and saw three things in the deceased's dream: ·A dead osmanthus tree ·A plate of osmanthus cake mixed with arsenic ·A list of collaborators whose names are circled in cinnabar There are more than twenty people on the list - civil servants, military generals, eunuchs, businessmen, ranging in rank from seventh grade to ruling. The person at the top of the list, circled with cinnabar, is the "pillar of the country" praised by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. And he is the real culprit. An old case in Xiangyang that spanned ten years came to light. And the two people involved in it, one wants to defend, the other wants to break - their fate, starting from a copper coin, is closely intertwined.
