Tracking Across the Sea

When an anonymous tip, hiding murderous intent, exposes the family secret she has guarded for generations, the surname Xu instantly becomes the center of a storm. A lotus pendant and a mysterious nautical chart draw Xu Shining, an antiques streamer, and Chen Mo, an expert from the Cultural Relics Bureau, into a struggle over a shocking treasure hidden for six hundred years. From the ancient port of Quanzhou to the depths of the South Seas, they follow in their fathers' footsteps, only to discover that their rivals seek not gold or silver, but the seeds of life that could overturn the future. Hunted by an international organization on one side and facing the genes of a civilization buried beneath the sea on the other, they watch as ancient navigation markers converge on the day of a seasonal solar term. The true "treasure" will then emerge: a key that may unlock humanity's shared future, or open the abyss of eternal damnation.
