About This Novel
In 1592, Japan's Sekiba Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent 140,000 troops across the sea to invade Korea. In the Korean court, the factions fought endlessly, and the armaments were weakened. King Seoul fell in the tenth day. From Busan to Yiju, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers turned into scorched earth. Jiang Xian, a member of the declining class, picked up half a burnt volume of the "New Book of Jixiao" among the ruins. The rural scholar who started talking about military affairs on paper was forced to embark on the road of exile and resistance. In the Ming Dynasty, Ji Zhen general Lu Shen followed Li Rusong across the Yalu River. Qi Jiguang's old troops faced not only ferocious enemies on foreign battlefields, but also opposition from their colleagues in the Northern Army and soul torture of "why they were fighting." Yukiko, a fisherman's daughter from Tsushima Island, disguised herself and sneaked into the Japanese army camp. Her father and brother died in the war, but the tip of her knife pointed to a bigger scam. From the bloody battle in Pyongyang to the desperate situation of Byokjeokwan, from the absurd peace to the siege of the isolated city, the fate of the three people was intertwined in the flames of war. And when the fire in the Luliang Strait lit up the night sky red, they finally understood: the war will eventually end, but the embers of memory will last for thousands of years.
