Features: During the Republican era, the "Last Emperor" Puyi flew into a rage in the Manchu court in Manchuria: the "Yuzhen" (Moon Vessel), a crucial piece of the Qing dynasty's lifeline in the "Qinghua Yuemei Zun," mysteriously disappeared. All eyes turned to Jingdezhen, where the biennial "Qinghua Porcelain Jade" conference was being held. The "Qinghua Porcelain King" not only represented the highest honor in the porcelain industry but also held the promise of a wealth of orders. The two porcelain-making families, the Bo and Sima clans, had long been engaged in a fierce struggle, both overt and covert. This time, they went to great lengths to vie for the title of "Porcelain King," even resorting to open conflict. Just then, the wandering swordsman Ren Pingfeng arrived in Jingdezhen with a solemn promise from his friend on his deathbed. There, he met three women: Xia Yuer, the female head of the Bo family; Bo Xiaowen, the eldest daughter of the Bo family; and Li Fengbai, a woman of the mortal world. All three fell in love with Ren Pingfeng, a free-spirited and valiant figure. The war between the two families became entangled in the love triangle among the three women. Two porcelain secret manuals, a pair of "Qinghua Yuemei Zun," whether it was the Qing loyalists seeking restoration or Japanese spies coveting the land, all made their appearances in the dramatic tale of "Qinghua." Innocent porcelain, guilty hearts. A soul-stirring and passionate love story, a little-known folk legend. In the end, justice triumphed over evil, the decades-long enmity between the two families was resolved, and Jingdezhen regained the peace it had long lost.
