Introduction to "Ten Fingers Weaving Brocade"
Su Jinxiu, an embroiderer from a poor family, relied on her embroidery skills inherited from her family. When her father died of illness and her family fell into decline, she used needles as blades and threads as armor to face the contempt and difficulties of the embroidery shops in the capital. She stayed outside Yunjin Pavilion every day, using delicate stitches to outline her hopes. Finally, she was appreciated by her boss Shen Tingyuan and joined the pavilion to start her apprenticeship.
Being stumbled by jealousy in the pavilion, she turned the stained skirt material into "distant mountains and flowing clouds"; to accept the palace's "Picture of Birds Paying Attention to the Phoenix" as a gift, she stayed up all night studying needlework, and earned the title of "Empress Dowager Embroiderer" by virtue of her strength. Then she opened the "Jinxiu Workshop". Not only did she become famous with her novel embroidery products, but she also accepted women from poor families to teach her skills. However, she was framed by her peers for plagiarism.
Shen Tingyuan has always been the light behind her - finding evidence to clear her grievances, giving her a store to help her establish a career, and gradually growing in love with her day and night. Faced with the obstacles of disparity in family status, the opposition of the Shen family's mother, and the sudden financial crisis of the Shen family, Su Jinxiu neither feared nor retreated: she used her embroidery skills to blaze a trail, and relied on her resilience to carry on. She not only supported her own world in troubled times, but also crossed the class gap with Shen Tingyuan, and finally achieved the perfection of "embroidering a flowery road and sharing this life with you." This is an inspirational legend based on craftsmanship and written with sincerity. It is also a chapter of ancient love that transcends identities and goes in both directions.
