Xiangjiang was just a small fishing village sixty years ago, but that's not entirely accurate.
It was more like an eighteenth-line port town, far inferior to other regions in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong, known for their bounties and talented people.
Later, it was chosen by the Royal Navy as a sheltered harbor, and after signing a lease agreement with the Former Dynasty, it gradually developed.
However, due to changes in the world, the British don't have a heavy influence in Xiangjiang; local governance mainly relies on local gentry.
This local gentry has the surname Yang.
The Yang Family, a millennia-old noble family, was once dominant in the Southeast; however, a catastrophe thirty years ago wiped out most of them, leaving few direct line descendants.
The current Family Head is Yang Songxian, who was only a teenager during the catastrophe, witnessing the fall of the powerful family to rubble, surrounded by threats and peril.
