[Source] Millennium mugwort is mentioned in the fifteenth volume of the grass section of "Compendium of Materia Medica", which says: "Millenium mugwort comes from the Taihe Mountain in Wudang. The small stem is about one foot high, and its root is like weeds. Its leaves are more than an inch long, without pointed branches, green on the front and white on the back. In autumn, yellow flowers bloom, which are like wild chrysanthemums but smaller, and the fruits are shaped like green beads. The leaves are picked on the dog days of summer and dried quickly. The leaves are not like mugwort, but have a mugwort fragrance. They will break into pieces when rubbed, unlike mugwort leaves which become fluffy."

According to what he described and the attached pictures, it should be the Hibiscus chrysanthemum of the Asteraceae family.
