Synopsis of Love on the Turquoise Land
Centuries ago during the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Qin Shi Huang became obsessed with achieving immortality. He dispatched a secretive unit known as the Tangled Army to uncover its mysteries. But as time passed, the army vanished—and so did the secrets they carried.
In the present day, the forgotten tale resurfaces. Nie Jiu Luo, a young sculptor, is revealed to be a descendant of the Tangled Army. Though she lives a seemingly ordinary life, her lineage ties her to a past she cannot escape. Meanwhile, Yan Tuo—a wealthy young man whose family is controlled by a woman named Lin Xi Rou—is searching for answers of his own.
When Nie Jiu Luo and Yan Tuo cross paths, their destinies intertwine. Together, they begin unraveling the truth behind the Tangled Army and the power that Lin Xi Rou holds. Their investigation leads them into a realm far beyond anything they imagined, revealing earth-dwelling owl creatures, supernatural forces, and the ancient pursuit of immortality.
