It consist of 100 chapters and is set in the early 15th-century. The novel is about the voyages of admiral Zheng He. However, instead of a realistic chronicle of Zheng He's journeys, the novel is a blend of "factual" and "fantastic narrative", full of monsters and supernatural beings, akin in style to the shenmo novels of the same period.
