The Litchi Road

The story follows Li Shande, a man deceived by his colleagues and demoted from his supervisory post. Forced to assume the role of the "Lychee Envoy", he faces a near-impossible mission to deliver fresh lychees from Lingnan to Chang’an as a birthday gift for the Noble Consort. An old saying holds that lychees change color in one day, lose their fragrance in two, and their flavor in three. With more than 5,000 li separating Lingnan from Chang’an and deadlines tightening with limited resources, can he possibly pull it off?
