The True Book of Time

When her grandfather is framed for corrupting the imperial calendar, astronomer Shen Yan becomes a fugitive clutching a fragment of forbidden knowledge. Hunted by General Qin Zheng's grain conspiracy in the south and Grand Tutor Wei Song's scripture forgeries in the north, she wields celestial mathematics as her only weapon. In a court where stars dictate destiny and calendars shape empires, one woman's astronomical genius exposes the lies of the powerful—but truth is a dangerous currency, and knowing too much may cost her everything.
