About This Novel
A frontier version of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival"-style female rivers and lakes epic In the ancient city of Xuanhua during the Kangxi period, the undercurrent was more biting than the wind outside the Great Wall. When the shadows of the spies at Niangan, the wealthy families who smuggled salt and iron, the martial arts sects rooted in the frontier, and the ten evil men simultaneously enveloped this nine-sided town, only ten women with extraordinary skills, using bookshops, medical clinics, wine cellars, and embroidery houses as their curtains, guarded the last fire of Chinese civilization in the wind, moon and sword light. They did not practice peerless martial arts, but only taught metallurgy, medical skills, organs, brewing, and embroidery... But used the softest skills to move the hardest iron curtain of the times. This is a historical group portrait novel that subverts the traditional martial arts narrative: ◆The top ten aristocratic families control the economic lifeline, the top ten sects divide the world, the top ten villains distort human nature, and the top ten officials represent imperial power - the game between the four camps and the Orchid Sect creates a panoramic picture of frontier society. ◆The ten ladies are codenamed after flowers, and each is good at special skills: epigraphy and stone collection, Mongolian and Han medical skills, grassland trade, mechanical arithmetic, night walking Qinggong, embroidery code, Western music and dance... Skills are like blades, and elegant skills can kill people. ◆Real history and geography are intertwined with fictional legends: Every street, alley, and tower in the ancient city of Xuanhua has research evidence. The bells of the Zhenshuo Tower, the waves of the Yanghe River, and the secret passages crisscrossing the underground jointly create a breathless sense of historical suspense. If you like the compactness of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", the world situation of "The Code of Along the River During the Qingming Festival", and the machinations of "Nirvana in Fire", this work that uses female wisdom to break problems and uses skill inheritance to question the survival of civilization will take you into a frontier fortress that has never been written before.
