The key to rice paper technology is the secret medicine of rice paper.

Therefore, the core technology of rice paper production has always been controlled by the Cao family. But Ye Hezi, Cao Enzhu's concubine, was an ambitious person. In order to steal the secret rice paper medicine, she did not hesitate to kill the eldest lady and her stepdaughter Mu Jin.
