About This Novel
In 1234, Mongolia destroyed the Jin Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty court in Lin'an was still immersed in the singing and dancing of the West Lake. The young man Lu Wenyuan and the girl next door Qin Muxue are childhood sweethearts. They often discuss poetry and practice martial arts by the West Lake. Wenyuan studied under Yue Fenglei, an old subordinate of Han Shizhong, a famous retired anti-Jin general, and learned the "iron-bone sword"; Mu Xue learned from his grandmother the ancestral medical skills of the Qin family and the hidden weapon "Tiansi Embroidery". At a West Lake poetry meeting, the two of them witnessed Mongolia's assassination of a war minister. Wen Yuan drew his sword to fight for the first time. Although he repelled the assassin, his skill was exposed. The Qin Family Embroidery Shop was attacked by mysterious forces because it was involved in a court secret. Before Mu Xue's grandmother was seriously injured and dying, she handed over half of the blood-stained "Mountains and Rivers Sheji Diagram" embroidery to Mu Xue and asked her to "hand it over to a trustworthy person." Wenyuan's father, Lu Tianfang, appeared to be a civil servant, but in fact he was a member of the "Shanhe Sheji League", a secret anti-Mongolian organization of the imperial court. He sensed that his son was involved in the turmoil and began to guide him secretly. In the shadow of family secrets and national disaster, the two teenagers went from being carefree to taking on responsibilities, and their hazy emotions quietly grew in the crisis.
