Xiao Yi, a modern young man, traveled through a strange thunderstorm and fell into the Lop Nur wilderness in 176 BC, and was accidentally bound to the mysterious time and space system. At that time, it was just a saline-alkali land, and a group of Qiang people driven out by war were struggling for water.
Relying on the knowledge given by the system and modern thinking, Xiao Yi used a karez well to divert water from the Kongque River, built a city wall with red willow branches and rammed earth, and helped Loulan, the leader of the Qiang people, build the original city-state - this is the legendary Loulan in later generations. In the process, he met Ayiruo, the most water-savvy girl in the tribe. She had reed flowers in her hair and the light of the Kongque River in her eyes. From the initial shy temptation, to later facing the wind and rain side by side, she became his most solid support in this strange land.
As the camel bells of the Silk Road gradually rang, Loulan became the hub of the Western Regions, where silk and jade met, and Han and Qiang people lived together in the same city. But behind the prosperity there is a turbulent undercurrent: the Huns' cavalry often cross the border, and the coveting of the Doom Kingdom has never stopped. Even the distant Han Dynasty has set its sights on this fertile land. Xiao Yi relied on the tactical map and metallurgical technology rewarded by the system to resolve crises time and time again, allowing Loulan to grow from an isolated fortress in the sea of sand to a prominent pearl in the Western Region.
Ayiruo is no longer the girl who only knew how to weave red willow baskets. She has learned to embroider the outline of the city-state with silk. She is also able to propose good strategies to appease various ministries during discussions, and has become Xiao Yi's right-hand assistant in governing Loulan. The relationship between the two grew up in the wind, sand and smoke, but it was always shrouded in a shadow - Xiao Yi knew that Loulan in history would eventually disappear into the yellow sand.
It's worth watching and support it.
