1. Light of Lanterns

In the Qing Dynasty, colonisation and foreign powers threaten the South China Sea. Shi Xianggu (石香姑) works in the dimly lit streets of waterfront Guangdong, her body for sale to those who can pay the right price. What she doesn't foresee is a business venture that comes in the form of a marriage proposal from the most notorious pirate captain in Eastern Asia— the mysterious Zheng Yi. But can Zheng provide what Shi needs, or is it up to his first mate and fleet officer, Cheung Po Tsai? Will a seafaring, criminal life change Shi Xianggu forever?
