Born the thirteenth child and third legitimate heir of Emperor Xuan, Meilin is nurtured within the palace's opulence alongside her Spiritail, Niu. Headstrong and untamed, she hones her prowess in Dàowū, channeling zhi through her fighting skills. Niu serves as Meilin's connection to zhi and the gateway to the elusive path of Jijin. Meilin yearns for the mastery of Jijin, longing to wield her own sword and break free from the palace confines to embark on an adventure. When the Emperor mandates her journey beyond the palace, Meilin and Niu take off excitedly. In the world beyond, unfamiliar landscapes, people, and customs await them. They must rely on their skill, wit, and sheer stubbornness outside the palace. Destiny intertwines the pair with the charming and enigmatic Wisu Sect, whose camaraderie and mastery of Jijin draw Meilin in. As bonds form within the sect, Meilin remains oblivious to the hidden world behind their smiling faces—ambitions for power and a fierce desire to exploit her connection to the Xuan dynasty. Navigating the intricacies of family loyalty, unbridled ambition, and old and newfound bonds, Meilin becomes a shuttle weaving through the fabric of the Xuan Dynasty. Her choices, as precarious as silk, thread through her personal fate and the dynasty's future, leaving the very tapestry of their existences wavering.
