During the Southern Song dynasty, warfare rages and the Silk Road teeters on the brink of collapse. Yuchi Yunshuo, the only daughter of the Yuchi family, has been clever and perceptive since childhood and is skilled in business. Having experienced the dangers of the trade routes through the Western Regions firsthand, she knows that overland routes can no longer sustain her family’s glory. Resolute, she turns toward the uncharted Maritime Silk Road.
Along the way, she meets Tuoba Feng, a half-blood knight who has journeyed east in search of his origins. She is a merchant’s daughter who reads people well and is determined to open new frontiers; he is a lonely knight with a keen blade and a secret in his heart. Together with like-minded companions, they brave perilous roads and become embroiled in a family power struggle amid a turbulent age. They support the Kaixi Northern Expedition, cut through wind and waves, and forge a new route to the vast ocean.
As the sea breeze blows, the compass of fate has already pointed toward the unknown. Amid war and commerce, schemes and trust, love and hate, and difficult choices, how will they write a legend of their own?
