Synopsis

When Longqing ascended the throne, maritime trade opened in the southeast and the Japanese pirate threat gradually eased. But the northern frontier's nine garrisons remained engulfed in smoke and fire, with battles raging without end. Establishing tributary trade to bring an end to hostilities was an urgent necessity. Yet in Tumet, Zhao Quan and others from the White Lotus Society had established fortified settlements, and repeatedly sent spies into the Central Plains to sow chaos. The Ming court did not dare act rashly.

Tao Yukun, Zhu Shitai, Bao Chongde, and a band of passionate young men matched wits and courage with the White Lotus Society, then ventured deep into enemy territory to win over the people. In the end, they dismantled the White Lotus Society's power in the settlements and brought Zhao Quan, Li Zixin, and other leaders to justice. Tributary trade was finally established.

The novel also depicts real historical events that took place along the northern frontier during the Longqing era, including the “Fen Stone Incident,” the “Battle of Bangchui Cliff,” and the “Peace Treaty Signed at Desheng Fort,” as well as real-life heroes such as Wang Chonggu, Ma Fang, and Qi Jiguang.

The novel also brings to life remarkable women such as Lu Tianmi and Zhang Ningyue, who are brave, clever, and unafraid to love or hate. Fighting side by side with the protagonists Tao and Zhu, they become part of a stirring romantic legend.

I’ve Recently Gotten into Historical Romance, and I’m Out of Books to Read

I like stories with equally strong male and female leads who help each other grow, with good supporting characters too. Something warm and loving, please recommend some.
