Features: The fleeing girl Zhu Yan enters the Four Barriers, and is taken in by the Tang family with her own engraving skills. Fate leads her to become pregnant with the son of the missionary MacGowan. After the Boxers murdered foreigners, Zhu Yan lost her eternal sight to ensure the mixed-race child could stand in the Four Barriers. For her engraving skills to be passed down, she gave herself to the boundless darkness. Tang Siyou devoted his life to engraving book plates and guarding the craft, dreaming of being accepted into his adoptive father's family and gaining love. However, his firm grasp of cultural essence could not change his appearance or blood, and the environment cruelly rejected him. Just as he made the engraving his home, accustomed to loneliness and discrimination, things took a qualitative turn.
