In the twelfth year of Jinghe's reign in the Kingdom of Zhao, the century-old silk merchant Lu family experienced great changes.
A strange silkworm plague swept through the mulberry field. The owner was unjustly imprisoned and died violently. A heavy rain poured down the silkworm house that had been run for generations. The legitimate daughter Lu Qingsang broke off the jade hairpin and stepped into the blood-stained business road from the beautiful boudoir. She was the one who discovered that silkworm seeds for disaster relief were adulterated, she was the one who saw through the raw silk mixed with linen as betrothal gifts, and she was the one who dug out the severed finger of the dyer with her bare hands in the ruins of the heavy rain.
The girl who had taken off her gorgeous clothes held on to the damaged "Nine Volumes of Celestial Silkworms" and fought her way through the environment surrounded by jackals: the improved reeling produced 30% more silk, the sick silk silk glue was quenched into green frost satin, and the imperial merchants used military orders to open up the road. The golden needle that used to be used to trace patterns in her boudoir has become a sharp tool for measuring people's hearts - there are salts hidden in the abacus beads to lead to old cases, the corruption of the East Palace is hidden in the sound of the loom, and the imperial merchant envoy Xiao Yan, who coldly monitors her every step, has a fish charm around his waist that is closely linked to his father's relics.
From silkworm sand styptic powder to mulberry bark sutures, from the female workers' school to the Nanyi guild, Lu Qingsang used the warp and weft as swords and the shuttlecock as a shield. Amidst the strife of wealthy families and the fission of the times, Lu Qingsang weaved a legend of a woman holding the lamp to illuminate the aristocratic family. When the last page of "Nine Volumes of Celestial Silkworms" was finally completed, the faint sound of new silkworms breaking out of their cocoons was just like the sound of the cracks in the old dynasty opening up.
