Li Yuelan, a modern urban white-collar worker, travels to Suzhou City in the 1930s due to the pocket watch of the Republic of China that she accidentally acquired. She is involved in the family dispute between Xu Zhihong, a famous Suzhou embroidery craftsman a hundred years ago, and Lin Yida, the son of a warlord. This pocket watch engraved with Su embroidery stitches is actually a fragment of the "Xuanji Embroidery Manual" stolen by the Lin family back then, and it contains a shocking secret that subverts the inheritance of Su embroidery.
