She is the most precious pearl of the empire. At the age of sixteen, Lan Qi'er, the beloved daughter of Emperor Kangxi, became a pawn in the political chess game and married Galdan, the leader of the Junggar tribe, in exchange for a moment of peace on the border.
In the past ten years, she used her medical skills to soothe the scars on the grassland, spread the glimmer of civilization through her school and farming, and built a bridge of reconciliation between the Qing Dynasty and Junggar. She was called the "Moon of Guihua City." But under the moonlight, there was an unhealable rift in her heart, and an unquenchable war in the eyes of her husband Galdan.
In the autumn of the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi's reign, the wind from Zhaomoduo brought news of Galdan's death. Before she could escape, Lan Qi'er unexpectedly received his blood-stained instructions: a jade jewel containing ancient wisdom, a tortoise shell half-moved with secret inscriptions, and a bronze key from her dowry. Galdan entrusted the future of the grassland to her, saying that only by finding another key and unlocking the secret of Yujue can the survival of all the ministries be maintained.
At that time, the secret order from the Forbidden City also arrived: seize Yujue at any cost. On one side is the deep secret of his father and brother's empire, on the other side is the century-old hatred and suspicion among various tribes in the grassland. Lan Qier suddenly stands in the eye of the storm.
What she holds tightly in her palms is no longer cold jade, but a civilized choice. From a princess at the mercy of fate to a helmsman who controls her own course, she wants to carve out a way of life that transcends hatred and integrates blood in this land soaked in youth and love. Play the game with wisdom and break the situation with courage. Even if you have to sacrifice something you cherish, you must build a symbiotic home for the lamb and the wolf, and build an immortal monument for yourself and thousands of creatures on the ruins of history.
