In the fourth year of Hongwu, Tang He conquered Shu.
Gu Yun, the counselor who accompanied the army, was ordered to go to Sichuan. He was supposed to be just a calm piece on the chessboard, but he wore the skin of a "traveling doctor" and fought against death with a pair of hands as steady as iron hooks among the plague and corpses.
On the same day, Jiang Hanxue, the leader of Emei, led his disciples down the mountain to provide disaster relief. The original intention was to build a reputation for good deeds and find a way for Emei to survive in the new dynasty. However, in the camp where the cries and the fragrance of medicine were intertwined, he met this "healer and counselor" face-to-face - first a tit-for-tat test, and then an appreciation and trust that both their strength and character had to admit.
From then on, he went to the city to lobby, pacified the summer and settled Shu, and captured Bashu for the new dynasty; she led Emei to extinguish the plague and stabilize the people's hearts. He restructured and established schools in Emei as a guest minister, so that a Taoist sect could protect itself under Hongwu's iron fist; she used her dignity as the head of the family to block secret arrows from the court for him, so that a counselor who was regarded as a sharp blade would not die alone.
He makes a living between the emperor and the powerful ministers, and she makes a living between the sect and the world. Their identities allow them to "be passionate but not polite", but it also allows them to put their lives on the knife's edge for each other time and time again. History books only write about merits and demerits, not love - what this book is about to write about is the secrets and answers that an Emei headman and a Hongwu counselor guarded throughout their lives on the blank page that cannot be turned over.
Intention: The history pen is as iron as iron, without words, the most affectionate - to write about the tenderness and responsibility that have been erased by history books
