The Peace of Chang'an

by ity

In the eighth year of the Tianshou Dynasty, a major upheaval shook the imperial court. The former emperor suddenly passed away, and the Son of Heaven ascended the throne at the tender age of six. A powerful prince, still holding military authority, became regent, assisting the Empress Dowager who ruled from behind the curtains. With the new emperor so young, the Empress Dowager and various high-ranking officials jointly managed state affairs. However, lacking legitimate authority, the court fractured into numerous factions, each vying to expand its own influence. To serve as an official during this period, one had to know how to choose the right patron and firmly align themselves. A spirited scholar from Suzhou enthusiastically traveled to the capital for the imperial examinations. Originally a chivalrous individual who disliked rigid rules, he inadvertently found himself entangled in the tumultuous world of officialdom, unable to escape. As he navigates this dangerous landscape, scholars are continuously harmed, bodies mysteriously vanish from coffins, an exquisite treasure is hidden beneath a painting, and enigmatic rumors circulate about the Mountain Goddess. For him, Li Shi was the Chang'an in his heart, a city he had journeyed half his life to reach, simply for the hope of seeing it once. Should that city ever fall, he would only be able to wander aimlessly, with no place to call home.
