When Luo Ke, Queen of the Fabric Merchant, bumped into Li Sen, the head of the dark pavilion, in Tingyu Tower, the thread of fate was quietly entangled. She came to track down the family's fabric counterfeiting case, and he came to tear apart the shady story of collusion between government and businessmen. During the fight for an account book, Li Sen recognized the jade pendant on her waist - the token that saved his life ten years ago.
From the counterfeit warehouse in Jinxiu Pavilion to the secret chamber of Murong Mansion, from the side by side breakout on a rainy night in the south of the Yangtze River to the life and death confrontation in the capital court, their trajectories repeatedly overlap in the conspiracy. Wang Luoke used the delicateness of a weaver girl to dismantle the secrets of the account book, and Li Sen used the sharpness of the secret cabinet chief to break through the obstacles of power. Little did they know that behind the counterfeiting case was a shocking shady story of misappropriation of disaster relief funds, and it also involved the treasonous conspiracy of Ouyang Xinhai and other powerful officials.
When Lisen was imprisoned for false accusations, Wang Luoke traveled all over the world with evidence to find witnesses; when the war broke out on the border, Lisen couldn't sleep all night while stroking the peace charm she embroidered in the military tent. From the dangerous plan of feigning death to escape, to the determination to destroy the temple, from fighting the plague together in the disaster area to the defense of life and death in the Golden Palace, they tempered their sincerity in the light of swords and protected each other in the whirlpool of intrigue.
When the dust settled and Li Sen took off his armor and returned to the fields, Wang Luoke's cloth villages had spread all over the north and south. The white-haired old man basking in the warm sunshine in the courtyard still thinks of the rain when they first met - it turns out that all the thrilling power games are just to foreshadow the promise of "holding hands and growing old together".
