About This Novel

During the Qin Dynasty, the ancient Micang Road at the junction of Qin and Ba was rugged and difficult to navigate, and it became a natural chasm for communication between the two ethnic groups. Yan Zilin, a descendant of a road-building family in Qin, was ordered to preside over the construction of ancient roads to connect Qin and Ba and benefit the people. The ancient path in Baling is extremely dangerous, and it is difficult to build the road by cutting stones. Yan Zilin adheres to the rigor of "the name of the work" and leads the craftsmen and laborers to work day and night. By chance, he met Chu Xiaoqiao, the granddaughter of a Ba people elder. The two went from being wary and tentative when they first met to getting to know each other because they had the same intention of building roads. Chu Xiaoqiao brought the secret valley path left by the Ba people's ancestors, and Chu's father-in-law proposed the method of "pleasing stones to solidify the wall". Qin's skills and Ba's wisdom merged, and the road construction project ushered in a turning point. However, the remaining forces in Chu were unwilling to reconcile with Qin and Ba. They secretly set up ambushes, spread rumors, and sabotaged construction in an attempt to hinder the completion of the ancient road. Yan Zilin and Chu Xiaoqiao joined hands to unite the Qin army, Qin craftsmen and Ba people to protect the road and crush the conspiracy. From black hair to gray hair, Yan Zilin and Chu Xiaoqiao persevered throughout their lives, not only opening up the path connecting Qin and Ba, but also witnessing the transformation of the two ethnic groups from estrangement to integration. With ingenuity and affection, they wrote a legend of road construction and love that spans Qin and Ba and has been passed down for thousands of years.
