During the voyage, the sailors were secretly plotting a mutiny. At first, Tao Xueluo stood on the side of the noble and elegant Captain Schellie, but gradually, after realizing his cruel nature, she resolutely joined the ranks of the sailors. Soon, she was drawn into a mysterious murder case, put on trial, and sentenced to death, but with her own courage and wisdom, she escaped the danger. Later, when the Sea Eagle arrived at its destination, she had become the captain who led all the crew. However, when she finally returned to her parents after enduring countless hardships, she found that she no longer fit into the familiar world she once knew. What will she do next?
