Description
In Chang'an, if you don't become a monster like it, you will be swallowed by it.
Yao Ru'neng slowly leaned against the pavilion pillar, gazing at the dark night sky outside, filled with a sense of desperate frustration. Chang'an finally revealed its monstrous nature, slowly devouring those who refused to be assimilated.
In the third year of the Tianbao era of the Tang Dynasty, in January, the Jing'an Office received intelligence that the Turkic planned to infiltrate Chang'an to plot revenge. Thus, they cast a wide net and set a trap. Originally, they thought everything was foolproof, but it all fell apart. The Turkish wolf guards escaped, the clues were lost, and the only certainty was that the Turkic would trigger a devastating destruction during the Lantern Festival. In this way, there were only twelve hours left to save the people of the whole city. However, with its one hundred and eight wards, crisscrossing open and hidden channels, a mix of people from all walks of life, and merchants from various countries, it was no easy task to find clues to the the Turkic's conspiracy in Chang'an.
Behind the prosperous singing and dancing, a disaster that would swallow everything was imminent. Wolf guards, kidnapping, assassination, flames, and burning of the city - the gears of destruction had already begun to turn. The only chance was to infiltrate the underground dark world of Chang'an, but a guide was still needed.
And the only hope to save Chang'an lies with a one-eyed death row inmate and just twelve hours...

Volume I
001
Chapter One: Sizheng・10:00
Countless black cavalry galloped back and forth in the distance. Above the distant river, a blood-red round sun hung low; within the isolated city, columns of wolf smoke stabbed straight into the pale yellow sky.
029
Chapter Two: Wuchu・11:00
The two horses chased each other, racing through the streets of the ward, frequently stopping abruptly and turning sharply, kicking up great clouds of dust. Carts and pedestrians on the road dodged out of the way, causing more chaos.
054
Chapter Three: Wuzheng・12:00
Before even entering the ward, the two could already hear the faint sound of music. Luxuriant melodies rose and fell, various instruments played together, interwoven with lingering songs. Without seeing the scene, a vision of magnificent splendor already appeared in their minds.
087
Chapter Four: Weichu・13:00
Within the Qujiang Pool, waterways meandered, buildings stood tall, flowers surrounded the area, willows cast shade on all sides, and small paths threaded through the gardens—it was an excellent destination all year round, whether for visitors or for those seeking escape.
108
Chapter Five: Weizheng・14:00
When the wooden box was opened, on the left was a leather ink pouch, and on the right were embedded a short, fine brush and a roll of rough-edged paper. This was specially prepared for long-distance merchants—using the box as a desk, one could write on camel or horseback.
128
Chapter Six: Shenchu・15:00
At the same time, a crossbow bolt shot over from another side, embedding itself in the ground right at Cao Poyan’s feet. Zhang Xiaojing's figure leaped into the courtyard, quickly rolled, and landed in an open area thirty paces away from Cao Poyan.
164
Chapter Seven: Shenzheng・16:00
It was not yet time to light the lanterns for the night, but the residents of Chang'an, young and old, had already surged into the streets early, crowding together with oxcarts and mule carts draped in colorful satins.
201
Chapter Eight: Youchu・17:00
With a clever glance, she turned and went out, returning shortly with a plate of Ci Bei Temple oil fritters, laid over a few flatbreads. The fritters, fried in vegetable oil, were very filling.
231
Chapter Nine: Youzheng・18:00
The carter stopped the oxcart and coughed. The medical apprentice in the carriage drew a dagger from his waist and stabbed at the patient on the stretcher. From under the stretcher’s blanket, a large hand shot out like lightning, clamping firmly around the apprentice’s wrist.
252
Chapter Ten: Xuchu・19:00
Before the flames fully formed, intensely black smoke rose first, surrounded by sparks, like an ink-splashed black dragon leaping into the night sky.
276
Chapter Eleven: Xuzheng・20:00
But Li Bi saw at a glance that each of the four pavilion pillars was five arm-spans thick. The cost of transporting the raw logs alone would be enough to bankrupt more than a dozen humble families.
301
Chapter Twelve: Haichu・21:00
Far away, at the end of the street, six golden-armored cavalrymen appeared first, followed by eight attendants holding vermilion round fans and peacock obstruction fans. Then, a noble-looking four-view carriage, pulled by four bay horses, approached, flanked by over a dozen guards in brocade robes.
