The Embroidered Spring Blade of the Western Regions

Shen Mo, a Jinyiwei of the Ming dynasty, is tasked by secret imperial decree with escorting Princess Yunqi west beyond Yangguan to seek the lost treasures of the Qin and Han dynasties along the Silk Road, as well as the Divine Sword that can secure an empire.
