About This Novel

The Jokhang Dynasty, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Shen Huaijin, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, fell into disgrace due to her family's involvement in the "Salt and Iron Case". Her engagement was broken off and she was despised by her clan members. However, she neither fights nor grabs. She only likes to hide in the library and study the "Tianji Notes" left by her grandfather - a strange book that combines astronomical calendar, water conservancy and agricultural time, and changes in the five elements. "The so-called secrets are not in the sky, but in the fireworks on earth. Sowing in spring and harvesting in autumn are in every pair of hard-working hands." A sudden flood forced her to leave the boudoir. She disguised herself as a man, presented water conservancy plans, and went to the front line of disaster relief... Her talent could no longer be hidden. The imperial court made an exception and allowed women to participate in the selection of "Tianjiyuan". She thought it was the beginning of her ambition, but she didn't know that she had stepped into a huge chess game involving the court, the frontier, and the people. Here, she met Xiao Jingyan, the seventh prince who appeared to be a playboy, but actually had the world in mind. They went from being happy enemies to fighting side by side. Under the starry sky of Tianjishu, she and he jointly guarded the Eastern wisdom of "harmony without difference". But the path she wants to take is far more than that. When the Beirong cavalry pressed the border, when the imperial war faction and the peace faction fought fiercely, and when someone tried to turn Tianji Shu into a killing tool - she chose to leave the capital, travel across the mountains and rivers, listen to the voices of the people, and compile "Tianji Folk Chronicles". In the end, she used the Eastern wisdom of "harmony without difference" to promote reconciliation between the two races, and single-handedly proved that the real power lies not in domination or conquest, but in understanding, connection and creation.
