After transmigrating to the Great Ming, where maritime trade is forbidden, Su Qingyan possesses a complete set of modern shipbuilding knowledge. But she witnesses the authorities burn Zheng He's treasure ship blueprints, leaving the craftsmen with no way to make a living.
She encounters Lu Jinglan, a demoted county magistrate with grand ambitions to sail the seas, and the two secretly form an alliance.
They restore fragments of lost shipbuilding manuals, improve cannon rifling, establish a hidden shipyard, and recreate enormous vessels with watertight compartments.
They take on the Jiangnan clans who monopolize maritime commerce, while fending off Japanese pirates and Western ships near the coast.
An imperial decree cannot shackle the human spirit, and half a ruined blueprint is enough to defend the coast.
He protects her from deadly danger, and she helps him fulfill his dream of reclaiming the seas.
After hardship comes happiness. At last, a new Great Ming fleet sets sail, making its might felt across the Western seas.
