Red Glaze Canal

A tidal wave almost submerged the lifeblood of Jingdezhen's century-old Yucheng kiln; the official kiln's power to seize skills also threatened to destroy the roots of the private kiln. Shen Zhiglai, the female shopkeeper who was given the task at the critical moment, looked at the ship full of broken porcelain and decided to fight against the world. She figured out the secret method of moisture isolation from the chaff, wrapped the porcelain in chaff, placed it in separate compartments, and managed to survive at the entrance of the kiln from a desperate situation. Gu Yanzhi, the upright water transport manager, could see through the aura in her skills and the tenacity in her bones at a glance. In order to protect her and the craftsman family, he did not hesitate to fight against the powerful, from investigating corruption to uncovering the shady story of imperial porcelain fraud, using the law as a blade to open a way for her to survive. When the flames of Jihong porcelain met the waves of the boats, and when the craftsmanship of the folk kilns collided with the machinations of the officialdom, they used porcelain as a matchmaker and their hearts as witnesses. Not only did the red glaze of the Yucheng kiln burn throughout Southeast Asia, but they also maintained their craftsmanship and each other in the turbulent era. The red glaze burns through all kinds of difficulties, and the canal boats cross thousands of miles of rivers. This is a battle about ingenuity and perseverance, and also a love affair between the porcelain kiln owner and the upright official.
