In the late Kangxi years, the Liu family in Jiangning City was once a famous brocade weaving family. The embroidery they produced were exquisite in needlework and elegant in pattern, and were exclusively for the court and officials. Liu Hetang, the head of the Liu family, is a generous man and a proficient craftsman. He has two children. The eldest son Liu Yichen is well-read in poetry and books, and the younger daughter Liu Ruoli is smart and good at painting brocades. The family is happy and happy. The sound of looms and laughter can often be heard in the mansion, and they are very prosperous.
But something unexpected happened, and overnight, the Liu family was involved in an inexplicable disaster. First, there was an inexplicable fire in the weaving workshop, and the precious silk materials and unfinished embroidery were burned. Then, Liu Hetang went out to discuss business and never returned. He was seriously injured and dying when he was found. After returning home, he only had time to leave a few vague words "Be careful... Assassination..." And passed away. The pillars of the Liu family collapsed, and the family members were torn apart as they fought for the family property. Creditors came one after another. The great family declined in an instant, and all their servants were scattered. Liu Yichen and Liu Ruoli, brothers and sisters, could only live in the ruins of the ruins, under the strange gaze of everyone.
