About This Novel

The ancestral tripod collapsed, and divine punishment came to the world. A century of craftsmanship was overthrown in one day. Everyone in the world says that craftsmen lose their virtue and bring disaster to the mountains and rivers. Only the residual lines remain silent, hiding all the hypocrisy in the world. Twelve years ago, the great Yong ancestral cauldron shattered, and the government and the public blamed the craftsmen's sect. The Shen family was wronged, and the talented craftsman Shen Jingyuan became a prisoner. No one knows that the collapse of the tripod is not a punishment from heaven, but a shocking scam set up by the imperial power in collusion with foreign forces in order to break the ancient craftsmen's covenant and seek eternal supremacy. Although she had been imprisoned for twelve years, she did not indulge in resentment. She only kept her true heart with her craftsmanship, silently identifying the patterns of the broken cauldron, and writing down all the flaws and puzzles. Once out of the abyss, the cold blade hides the edge. Shen Jingyuan abandoned personal honor and disgrace and entered the troubled times with craftsmanship. She detects counterfeit weapons in the market, solves puzzles in the court, distinguishes between good and evil in people's hearts, and works step by step in a troubled world where power and intrigue are intertwined and internal and external collusion occurs. She takes in A Yuan, an orphan who possesses Chai's true fire and can distinguish the truth from falsehood in the world, gathers craftsmen who stick to the right path, and works side by side with Lu Yun, the secret guard who can't help himself and has checks and balances between light and darkness. Factions in the court are at war, powerful ministers are disrupting the court, countries are secretly infiltrating, and the emperor's façade is peeling off layer by layer. After countless game lines, turbulence among people, and battles of wits, Shen Jingyuan completely tore apart the false image of the Holy King and unveiled a shocking conspiracy of ten years. In the end, the dust settled. She did not seek power or fame, but used her craftsmanship to gather people, cast a true cauldron, and establish rules of balance. She broke the arbitrariness of the imperial power and renewed the world's covenant of craftsmanship. We use craftsmanship to build mountains and rivers, and we use checks and balances to determine the eternal future. In the end, we prove that craftsman has no abyss, balance has no boundaries, the utensils have a home, and the people have peace.
