In Shanghai in the 1930s, Zhang Wanrong (Zhang Wansheng), the eldest daughter of Jinxiu Textile Factory, embarked on a thrilling life-and-death game between her family's crisis and the survival of her nation. When her father died suddenly and the Japanese conspiracy came to light, she, as a female prostitute, turned traditional Suzhou embroidery into a deadly weapon. She used cheongsam as armor and warp and weft as blades, and she maneuvered step by step in the whirlpool of business wars and espionage wars. From the neon lights of Paramount to the smoke of the Suzhou River, from family secrets to the secret war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the game between Zhang Wanrong, the warlord Marshal Chen Shaoqing, and the Dai Li Commissioner Zhou Zhengyang is not only a wrestling of interests and emotions, but also the ultimate collision between national justice and personal destiny. When the shocking secret of "Mountains and Rivers" is revealed, she weaves the mountains and rivers of her home and country with bloody warp and weft in a burning city, completing her Nirvana rebirth from a business lady to a beauty in troubled times.
