In the first year of Longqing (1567), the Ming Dynasty issued an order to open sea, and Zhangzhou Yuegang became "the largest port in the East" with thousands of sails sailing. Lin Ji, the 16-year-old second son of the Lin family, wears the family heirloom sword "Cangming" on his waist. Together with his eldest brother Lin Song, who is the most intelligent in Southeast Asia, and his two sisters who are good at business, they guard the family business across the world. During a lilac transaction with a Franji merchant, Lin Ji encountered a foreign boy with special skills - Ao Feng, a Cao gang wizard who was good at mixing iron anchors, Dongfang Jingshu, a genius girl who was proficient in Mohist institutions, Ouyang Qing, a Persian mixed-race medical girl who knew the secret language of the Seven Kingdoms, and Yu Chen, a young fisherman who crisscrossed the Qiongzhou Strait with silk nets. This group of like-minded teenagers set sail from the gilded pier of Yuegang with an improved lucky ship carrying Dehua white porcelain and Wuyi tea to the sea of stars that Zheng He's fleet had conquered.
From the Spice War in Luzon to the dispute over the Buddha's Tooth in Ceylon, from Arabia's golden route to the porcelain craze in Lisbon, they used military force to make friends, use business to overcome problems, and in the turbulent waves uncovered the mystery of the "Star Woodcarving" left behind by the Three Treasures Eunuch. When Lin Song uses game theory to solve the Malacca dilemma, and when Dongfang Jingshu's improved "Qianji Sail" breaks through the eye of the hurricane, these young people will finally prove that beyond the borders of the Ming Dynasty, there are still vast stars belonging to China.
