Mortise and Tenon Joints Determine the Mountains and Rivers

The Mu family in Bianjing has been in charge of generals and prisons for generations. With their axes and mortises and tenons, they have repaired the palaces of the imperial city and built the tombs of emperors and empresses. Their "Luban Suo Jing" is the best in the world. But overnight, water seeped into the imperial mausoleum and all the institutions were destroyed. The Mu family was accused of "bullying the emperor and neglecting the superior." All members of the family were executed. The head of the family, Mu Yuan, died in prison. The only legitimate daughter, Mu Qingyuan, disappeared with half a broken scripture. Three years later, a taciturn little carpenter named A Yuan appeared in the Bianjing wood workshop. She could easily open the machine locks that the dignitaries couldn't repair; she could easily see the flaws in the mortise-and-tenon structure that the famous craftsmen couldn't solve; and she could solve a century-old problem in a damaged palace that even the generals and supervisors were helpless to do with just a piece of blueprint. Some people laughed at her as a woman who worked as a carpenter in public and was willing to be humble. She took out the addendum to "Building French Style" with her backhand and made the craftsmen all over the world bow to her. She repaired a thousand-year-old building with tenons and tenons, and the royal family made her the first general prisoner, breaking the iron law that women were not allowed to serve as general prisoners. She uprooted the enemies who had harmed her family one by one; she took back the glory that was taken away step by step with her own hands. She did not expect that Zhao Yanchen, who had been staring at her all the way from the young minister of Dali Temple to the powerful Prince Jing, not only saw through her identity, but also took the other half of the "Lu Ban Suo Jing" and said to her: "Mu Qingyuan, I will avenge you. The country of the Song Dynasty, you and I, will be decided together with mortise and tenon."
