When nine-year-old Wan Yanying lost her country for the first time, she didn't know that her mother came from another dynasty.
The city of Caizhou was destroyed, her father died in battle, and her brother disappeared. She went from being a girl in the clan of the Jin Kingdom to becoming an orphan in troubled times overnight. The one who saved her from leaving was Xinggu Yaocheng hidden deep in Kunlun.
There, she met the bright and transparent Yi Hongxiu, the cold and taciturn Leng Guchan, as well as Luo Lier and Yi Tianya. Someone taught her martial arts, someone taught her how to recognize people, and someone grew up with her. She gradually discovered that some people wanted her to remember the Jin clan bloodline on her father's side and the Zhao and Song Dynasty on her mother's line. But which of the two dynasties is her homeland?
She had no answer.
She only remembered the people who died under Caizhou City, the people on the way to escape, and those who were still willing to leave a way for others to survive in troubled times.
Later, she left Kunlun and walked through the Central Plains cottages, Yanlu Islands and Fenghuo border towns. She saw the decency of famous families and the selfish desires behind the so-called righteous path. She saw countless people make different choices for their own lives, and gradually understood the most precious things between people.
The Mongolian cavalry are still heading south, various factions in the world have their own agendas, and the secrets left behind by the old dynasty are also emerging bit by bit.
And that girl who once didn't know where she belonged would one day have to make her own choice——
What she wanted to protect was never the empire of one family.
If there is anything missing in the mountains and rivers, it will be filled in bit by bit by the living.
