During the Yuanwokuotai Khan period, three thousand families of craftsmen who returned from the Western Regions were forced to stay away from their homeland of Samarkand and migrated to the nettle forest in southern Mongolia to weave bright and luxurious Nashu gold brocades for the Mongolian court. The novel focuses on the fate of Ninol Khwarazmi, a talented gold-weaver girl, and Su Zhiqiu, the daughter of a Jiangnan painter. When the flames of war engulfed the nettle forest, they fled north in a hurry under the cover of the sacrifice of the loyal general Battelle, carrying the "Golden Bird Wrapping Vine" shawl and the "Yunjian Gu" painted soul wooden sign that symbolized the pinnacle of their skills. Traveling across the vast grassland, they relied on Ninuol's amazing skills of smelting wool and beating gold veins and Su Zhiqiu's Jiangnan magic pen to add vitality to the soul. They won a glimmer of hope in Altay's life-or-death skills. However, the suspicion of tribes, the obstruction of conservative forces, and the lack of resources have made the road to inheritance frightening at every step. This is a tragic epic in which amidst the iron hooves of the empire and the wind and snow of the prairie, gold threads are cast with blood and tears, and the fire of civilization is protected with life. It writes about the life-and-death migration and immortal struggle of Huihui craftsmen in order to preserve the thousand-year-old art of gold weaving.
