The Loom of Shadows - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

In the turbulent decades following the Eastern Jin's triumph at the Fei River, the walled capital of Jiankang pulses with the scents of incense and workshop smoke, its canals carrying both trade and rumor. As northern émigré aristocrats cling to privilege and southern gentry chafe under unequal taxation and corvée, the lives of a minor noblewoman bound by a strategic marriage, a principled magistrate uncovering clan corruption in the land registers, a master weaver torn between ancestral looms and state demands, a metaphysical monk whose temple becomes a nexus of secrets, and a rising southern military officer navigating divided loyalties become inextricably knotted. When millenarian rebellion threatens the city walls, these five souls must decide what threads of duty, faith, and survival they will cut-and what new pattern, if any, can be woven from the shadows of a fracturing dynasty.
