In the fifteenth year of Tianbao, Chang'an fell, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty turned into ashes overnight. Li Chengcai, the great-grandson of Emperor Gaozong and the king of Dunhuang, a declining clan member who was cautious on the fringes of the royal family. When the country was in danger, he was selected by the new emperor who hastily ascended the throne to undertake a top-secret mission with a near-death life - to go north to Huihe, sign an alliance, and send troops to quell the rebellion. Escape from the war-torn capital is only the first step. The road ahead is the pursuit of the rebel cavalry, the prying eyes of all forces, and the test of life and death in the vast Gobi. The only person traveling with him was a mysterious guard named Amang. This person has extraordinary skills and a meticulous mind, but he is like a deep well, unable to see where he came from or his true intentions. The thread of fate leads them to the "White Camel" caravan with a complicated background. Under the seemingly enthusiastic but murderous tent of the wealthy businessman Sabir, a secret battle about loyalty, betrayal and interests has quietly begun. The assassin's poisonous blade, the mysterious note, the account books related to military supplies... What they accidentally broke into was a whirlpool that was far deeper and more dangerous than the rebellion. This is a road of survival paved with blood, and it is also a trial of humanity staged in the graveyard of the empire. Can the frail prince temper a will of steel in a desperate situation? Who does the mysterious guard serve? In the distant Huihe Yazhang, is it the embrace of his allies or another exquisite cage that awaits him? "A Lone Moon in the Vast Sea" takes real historical events as its basis and literary imagination as its wings, and delicately depicts a thrilling adventure legend in the context of the Anshi Rebellion.
