An epic of the soul that cannot be trapped in a boudoir, a lonely journey that began in the Ming Dynasty and swept the world.
During the Wanli period, Jingshu, the daughter of the Jiang family in Zhejiang Province, received verses from a wandering divine monk when she was born. For sixteen years, this prophecy has been her shackles - her parents used the boudoir training as a prison, named her "Jingshu", and wanted to lock her into the embroidery building.
Until she opened "Xu Xiake's Travels".
On the eve of her wedding, she cut her hair and changed clothes, transformed into a run-down scholar named "Jiang Zhou", and disappeared into the morning mist of the East Zhejiang Canal with half a volume of hand-drawn sea charts and a heart full of swans. From the merchant ships of all nations in Moon Harbor to the spice market in Malacca, from the rain forests of Java to the starry sky of the Indian Ocean, her footsteps follow the westward monsoon.
She exchanged her medical skills for the passage of Arab caravans, and won the respect of the Portuguese captain with her arithmetic skills. She is a knowledgeable oriental young man in the eyes of the chief, a "walking encyclopedia" that the daughter of British explorers marveled at. The secret of a woman disguising herself as a man follows her everywhere. The search for her hometown never stops, and her writing never stops - recording ocean currents, examining ancient maps, and talking to wise men from foreign countries.
This is not a love legend, but a lonely expedition that begins with breaking away and ends with vastness. When the world unfolds on the horizon, she uses mountains and rivers as paper and footprints as ink to record the era that is about to undergo drastic changes.
Later generations only found the remaining manuscript "Yunyou Hongmeng Lu" and a legend spread on the Maritime Silk Road. People will eventually understand: that verse is not a curse. She was born with ambitions in all directions, and eventually lived to become a star that illuminates the dark night.
