Moonlight Shines, Chaos in a Floating Life

In the twenty-eighth year of Yongning, Zhang Mochuan favored the eunuch Chen Liangyan, the court's order collapsed, and the common people were displaced. The rebel army's Mu Yuhuai breached the capital and established the state as Sheng. Though the old dynasty fell, warlords carved up the realm. Mu Yuhuai occupied the Central Plains, the south supported a member of the old imperial clan to set up a separate regime, the western warlords sharpened their blades, and the regional commands all harbored their own schemes. The northern lord Xiao Jinyan raised troops to expel the enemy across the provinces, and the down-and-out strategist Li Chen entered his staff. Old acquaintances meet again in a time of chaos: the lord wields the blade and spear, the minister holds the strategies. Resisting counterintelligence, breaking alliances, standing against the various warlords, enduring the suspicion and tug-of-war between ruler and minister, and gambling on unifying the realm amid the smoke of war everywhere. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: Moonlight Shines, Chaos in a Floating Life — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
