Set in a bustling Yangtze River port in the early years of the Republic of China, The Canghai Silk Chronicles unveils the tangled affairs of three generations of the Feng family in Jiangnan. Young master Gu Yun and his wife Xinyao navigate the shadowy wars of the raw silk trade. The story begins with the bizarre death of the Wuhu Customs commissioner, leading to a hidden danger tied to an arranged marriage made twenty years earlier. Smuggling ships carrying weapons, envoys from the Northeast, and British and Japanese agents take the stage in succession, all concealing the astonishing scheme of the Old Madam Feng to trade silk for guns. Ye Mingcong’s death sparks a struggle over the customs seal, while a secret compartment in a dowry chest hides heavy weapons belonging to the An Guo Army, and an underground chamber beneath a Buddhist shrine reveals an oil pipeline vital to the link between north and south. A disastrous tea-boat incident from years past, a wolf-head insignia from Fengtian, and a missing string of luminous pearls all form part of a vast web woven from power and wealth. Beneath the river’s waves, blades gleam, tempered in Yixing purple clay.
