During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the sea was strictly prohibited and Japanese pirates were rampant. A mysterious wave-breaking merchant ship, carrying secrets that could subvert the dynasty, quietly set sail from Moon Harbor. The core of the ship is a star map leading to the overseas fairy mountain "Yingzhou" and a strange mineral called "Fire Glaze".
Shen Moxuan, a young official in the shipping department, was involved in the whirlpool because of his proficiency in Chinese and was forced to board the ship. Lin Suwen, the daughter of a general who carries family secrets, also transformed into a doctor to search for her missing father. At the same time, the Japanese warrior Shimazu Yoshihiro, the ambitious Portuguese businessman Alberto, and the mysterious guard Lu Yi also boarded the ship with their own purposes.
This is not only an adventure across the East and West, but also a trial about trust, betrayal and the collision of civilizations. When the merchant ship sailed into the center of the storm and conspiracy, they gradually discovered that the so-called "Yingzhou" and "Huo Liuli" contained a huge secret that could shake the sea and the world of the Ming Dynasty. This is an Eastern ocean epic about sea power, technology and human choices.
