The female lead is no saint, and this is not a Mohist-style novel.
Li Ruo: dawn breaking at daybreak, goodness like water. Her courtesy name, Zi'an, carries the meaning of a lifetime of peace. This is her second name, and its meaning runs deep.
She is a Confucian disciple, and also a remnant of the Han kingdom. Through a twist of fate, those who were connected to her in countless ways appear before her, one after another: Xing Hun, Bai Feng, Zhang Liang, Hu Hai... Who can protect her and keep her safe for a lifetime?
And in this chaotic age, can she preserve both the Confucians and herself?
